The 44-year-old Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 by 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in a match that lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes on Centre Court. It marked Williams’ first singles appearance in nearly four years, since the 2022 U.S. Open.

Lebowakgomo husband sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating wife’s murder


The Polokwane High Court has sentenced 59-year-old Molabe Fannie Seribishane to life imprisonment for the premeditated murder of his wife, Mamsy Seribishane.


Mamsy Seribishane, a nurse at Lebowakgomo Hospital, was shot and killed on 22 October 2024 while arriving for duty near the hospital gate.


Investigations later linked her husband to the murder. Police revealed that the couple was in the process of divorce and that a protection order had previously been granted against the accused.


The accused was arrested in November 2024 after going into hiding. Police recovered a 9mm pistol in his possession, which ballistic analysis later confirmed was used in the murder.


The court heard that the accused planned and executed the killing despite denying involvement throughout the trial.


He was sentenced as follows:

• Life imprisonment for murder

• 6 years for contravention of the Domestic Violence Act

• 15 years for possession of an unlicensed firearm

• 6 years for possession of ammunition


The additional sentences will run concurrently with the life sentence.


The court also declared him unfit to possess a firearm.


Police have welcomed the sentence, saying it sends a strong message against gender-based violence and domestic-related murders.
