Stretch found that the murder was a savage act of xenophobia.
Stretch jailed Mtshali for 20 years for murdering Ebamo and 10 years for robbing him, five years of which would run concurrently with the murder term.
In his guilty plea, Mtshali said an acquaintance told him he wanted to steal a foreigner's car.
