 A Limpopo man who stabbed his girlfriend to death in front of his own mother will spend the next 20 years in prison. The Polokwane High Court sentenced 48 year old Nathaniel Molatelo Mokgehle from Sekonye Village in the Botlokwa policing area for the murder of his girlfriend, 41 year old Mokgadi Julia Mohlaela. The court heard he chased her out of the house and continued stabbing her until she collapsed and died. Mokgehle also received six months for malicious damage to property. The sentence will run at the same time as the 20 year murder sentence. Evidence presented in court showed the victim had previously opened a malicious damage to property case against him. He was still attending court for that case when the murder happened. The attack happened on 08 June 2025 around 16:00 at his mother’s home in Sekonye Village.

 Eritrean president warns Ethiopia against war


Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki has warned neighbour Ethiopia against launching a new war between the two countries, with tensions high in the Horn of Africa region, AFP reported.


Eritrea and Ethiopia have had fraught relations since the former declared independence in 1993, with tens of thousands of people killed in a war between the two from 1998 to 2000.


At the heart of the current tension, according to the Eritrean government, is landlocked Ethiopia's long-held desire for a seaport.


Afwerki, who has ruled Eritrea since independence, told Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that he would not be able to simply overwhelm his country by weight of numbers – Ethiopia's population is 130 million, compared to just 3.5 million people living in Eritrea.


'Unwanted wars'


"If he thinks he can overwhelm (Eritrean forces) with human wave attack, (he is mistaken)," Afwerki told state television channel Eri-TV.


"Before dragging the people of Ethiopia into unwanted wars or using them for another political agenda, the country's internal problems must be first addressed and solved," he said.


He called Abiy's actions an attempt to "divert attention" from domestic problems.


Abiy signed a peace deal with Afwerki shortly after coming to power in 2018, but a violent conflict erupted in Ethiopia's Tigray province from 2020 to 2022 as Eritrea's forces backed rebels there fighting Ethiopian troops. In 2020, Eritrea denied troop incursion into Ethiopia's Tigray region.


Ethiopia's bid to access sea


At least 600,000 people were killed in the conflict, according to an African Union estimate.


Although a peace deal ended the fighting, Eritrea has maintained a military presence in Tigray and relations between the neighbours have deteriorated.


Abiy has repeatedly said Ethiopia must have access to the sea, but by peaceful means.


Last month, a report by a US monitoring group accused Eritrea of rebuilding its army and destabilising its neighbours.


Arms sanctions lifted


Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Ghebremeskel criticised the report by NGO The Sentry and blamed "the new tension in the region" on Ethiopia.


Eritrea had been under US arms sanctions that were lifted after the 2018 peace deal.
