Cannibal sentenced to 18 years for eating victim's heart Cape Town - Convicted killer and alleged "heart-eater" Andrew Chimboza was sentenced to 18 years in
prison by the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday. "I am of the view that a sentence of 18 years is appropriate," Judge Ashley Binns-Ward said in courtroom 11.
Chimboza, dressed in worn brown clothes, did not have an expression on his face and was lead out the room with shackles on his hands and feet. ...
Binns-Ward said the brutality of the murderous assault and Chimboza's absence of remorse outweighed his personal circumstances and almost blemish-free past.
However, there was no basis to declare him a danger to society: this was based on a psychiatric assessment, which found he had no mental illness and rated low in terms of risk and psychopathology.
As part of a plea agreement, Chimboza had pleaded guilty to killing 62-year-old Mbuyiselo Manona at the home of a former client last June, after a disagreement.
Manona was his ex-client’s lover, and had apparently accused Chimboza of having sex with his partner. Manona died from what were described as ' incisions to the upper body and blunt force injuries. '
Three persons testified during sentencing arguments that Chimboza had removed Manona’s heart, cut it up and ate it.However he did not mention these facts in his plea agreement.
eating it. No mention of that was made in his plea agreement. The pathologist who carried out the post mortem testified that the victim's heart was not present in the chest cavity and instead was presented to
him "in numerous pieces in a plastic bag."
He also told the court that 'the pieces were cleanly incised blocks of flesh."Binns-Ward was to have sentenced Chimboza in February but ordered that he first be admitted for observation so a panel could
determine whether he was a danger to society, and assist him in arriving at an appropriate sentence. News24

"How do you go into a room with someone dripping another person's blood out of his mouth?"
It was reported before the trial that the jealous lover, a Zimbabwean in South Africa, had stabbed his ex girlfriend's new partner (Manona), cut out his heart and then ate it with a knife and fork according to
police. Officers were called to the gruesome scene at a house in Cape Town's Gugulethu township by frantic neighbours, spokesman Frederick van Wyk told the Cape Times.
'On the scene they found a suspect, a Zimbabwean national, busy eating the heart of a human with a knife and fork,' he said.
The woman at the centre of the love triangle told police that her former lover had visited the house where she was living with her current partner and they had chatted together before he gave her money to buy
liquor and she left.When she returned she found her partner, 62-year-old Mbuyiselo Manona, had been stabbed, Van Wyk said.Even when the police got here... the guys were scared to go in. They had to call
for back-up. 'You can't really blame them - how do you go into a room with someone dripping another person's blood out of his mouth?'
Western Cape deputy police commissioner Sharon Jephta said the motive for the murder was 'definitely a love triangle'.
