Two white South African rugby players have been jailed for 18 years for murdering a black man.
Riaan Botha and Ben Korff were members of the Noordelike Rugby Club, who were on a farm for team-building exercises when they caught Mr Matloha and two cousins poaching.
The men were convicted last month of beating 19-year-old Mr Matloha to death in March 2001, a crime many South Africans believed was racially motivated.
Pretoria High Court Judge Mr Bernard Ngoepe described their killing of Tshepo Matloha as "vicious". He told the pair "more contemptuous and insensitive to a human being can one hardly ever be".
The judge said the state could not prove the attack was racist but that the two men had attacked a defenceless man.
Botha and Kobus Joubert also received a four-year sentence for obstructing justice by throwing Mr Matloha's body in a lake to hide the evidence of the crime.
Botha's sentences were to run concurrently. Two other men were acquitted of all charges.
Defence lawyers had argued Matloha died after falling off a truck while trying to escape from the rugby players.
