he's f**ked either way
This is now all about the court of public opinion (he will be forgiven by more people if he's shown to have thought he was gunning down an intruder rather than if he genuinely wanted to kill her).
He'll either get done for murder or culpable homicide (unlawful negligent killing) so it's jail time either way.
Given that in SA drunk drivers who cause fatal accidents are being charged, and in some cases convicted of, murder, even his defence that he thought it was an intruder might not help him escape the murder charge.
Did he think there might be someone in the bathroom? He's admitted yes.
Did he think his four shots might hit them? Not sure why else he would be firing if not...
Did he think that person might die as a result? Going to be difficult to argue otherwise...
Yes answers may well mean 'murder' in SA. Doubt its terribly relevant that he thought he was shooting at a different person - that probably goes more to sentencing than anything.
