Bafana Mahungela Convicted in Kluyts Murder | Johannesburg News

Bafana Mahungela has been convicted of murdering pregnant teacher Kirsten Kluyts in a brutal attack during an athletic event in Sandton, with the court finding him guilty on all charges including murder, robbery, attempted rape, and defeating the ends of justice. The assault, lasting around eight minutes, ended in blunt-force trauma and strangulation. Arrested in November 2023 after surveillance footage showed him near the scene and later leaving wearing her clothes, Mahungela had admitted to undressing her—claiming he was removing fingerprints after trying to help her. Despite pleading not guilty throughout the trial, the court’s verdict confirms his guilt on every count, with sentencing set for October 27.
