Sindisiwe Manqele has officially been placed on parole. The controversial young lady made headlines back in 2015 for the murder of her boyfriend, rapper Nkululeko 'Flabba' Habedi.
The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) announced her parole today, much to the astonishment of social media users who had hoped to see the convicted criminal serve out her full sentence.
Explaining their decision, The DCS says they believe Manqele has "taken responsibility for the offence she committed and is remorseful".

Manqele initially testified that she stabbed her boyfriend in self-defence, but the presiding judge dismissed her version of events, saying the amount of force she used to stab her former partner displayed her intentions to kill.
