A Krugersdorp magistrate says the three Tanzanians and one Rwandan will be deported once they’ve served their sentences.
Magistrate Stanley Mkhari says the assassination bid on Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa four years ago was policially motivated.

Nyamwasa was shot outside his Johannesburg home months after he sought asylum in South Africa having fallen out with Rwandan president Paul Kagame.

Nyamwasa’s survived at least three attempts to kill him.

He maintains Kagame ordered the 1994 shooting down of the plane carrying Rwandan Hutu president Juvenal Habyarimana.

The president’s death sparked the genocide that killed at least 600 000 Tutsis in Rwanda.

Mkhari says South Africans are tired of the political killings of foreign nationals.
Another of Kagame’s opponents, former spy chief Patrick Karegeya, was killed in a Sandton Hotel in January this year.
