Nkabinde was sentenced to 18 years jail by the Limpopo Division of the High Court in Polokwane on Monday.
Masango, who was an educator at Segololo Secondary School, was found at her home in Dindela village on June 11 with multiple stab wounds.
Her vehicle was found abandoned in the bushes next to Syverfofotein village. The ex-boyfriend was arrested on the same day and positively linked with the murder incident.
