@GuguStatu expressed a wish for severe punishment:
"Oh, the key to her tiny cell may be locked away in a safe thrown into the ocean. Oh, that all her food may have sand in it for the remainder of her life. May they harvest body parts and organs from her, but she remains alive to see herself disappear."
@AsanteGraceX pointed to the depth of her malice:
"Dmt, this woman is evil. She watched movies too much."
Meanwhile, @feeshm compared her to infamous biblical figures:
"Jezebel and Delilah have nothing on her ."
The public has also noted the almost cinematic nature of the case.
@LaStampa3 remarked:
"This is like a movie."
The murders started in 2016
The court heard the chilling details of Selani’s crimes, which date back to 2016.
Residing in Olievenhoutbosch, Selani discovered that her then-partner, Malawian national Micheal Changisa, had infected her with a chronic disease.
Enraged, she sought the help of another boyfriend, Gift, who was also Malawian and a resident of the same area, to carry out her vengeful plan.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana detailed the brutal events.
One night, Gift went to the house that Selani and Changisa shared and hid in the bathroom. Once Changisa was asleep, Gift emerged and repeatedly struck him on the head with a hammer in front of Selani's two young children.
"Changisa died in the bedroom where he was attacked. Selani and Gift then buried the body in her yard. After the murder, Selani and Gift continued to live together in the same house."
Selani's gruesome spree did not end there
Months later, she killed her second lover, Gift, and later her son, Avile Jonjwana, under similarly appalling circumstances.
Her actions have been met with widespread outrage and disbelief across social media.
