Here are 8 things you need to know about Ncumisa Selani, the South African woman who is responsible for the murders of her two boyfriends and eldest son:

• Her full name is Pamela Ncumisa Selani
• She was born in 1977 in South Africa
• As of 2024, she is 47 years old
• In 2016, she asked Gift, her second boyfriend, to help her murder her then boyfriend, Michael Changisa, which he did. This came after an argument she had with Michael in which she claimed he infected her with a chronic disease. Michael was buried in a shallow grave in her house. 
• In 2017, she conspired with her eldest son Avile Jonjwana to kill her second boyfriend Gift. Her reason was that Gift had abused her on multiple occasions. Gift was eventually buried on top of Michael's corpse in the same shallow grave.
• After conspiring with her son to murder Gift, he (her son) started doing drugs and extorting her through blackmail to get money to buy more drugs. Ncumisa Selani eventually got tired of his blackmails and murdered him by strucking him on the head multiple times with a hammer. Her son was also buried on both Michael and Gift's corpses in her house.

During the consultation, he confessed to the native doctor that his mother, Ncumisa Selani, had committed the murders of Michael Changisa, Gift, and his elder brother. The native doctor then reported the incident to a community leader who in turn reported to the police which eventually led to the arrest of Ncumisa Selani.
• In June 2024, Ncumisa Selani was charged for three murder cases all of which she denied and pleaded not guilty to. She was eventually sentenced to three life terms for the murder of her two boyfriends and her eldest son, and five years imprisonment for defeating the administration of justice.
