Sindiso Magaqa murder trial set to restart in November
The Sindiso Magaqa murder trial has been set down to start afresh.
The trial for the murder of Sindiso Magaqa is scheduled to resume in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on November 9th. Sibusiso Ncengwa, one of the accused and a confessed hitman, pleaded guilty during the previous trial. Zweliphansi Skhosana, a former municipal manager of the Umzimkhulu Local Municipality, was also arrested and later joined the other accused in court.
Magaqa, who was a councillor in Umzimkhulu at the time of the incident, was shot at and died in the hospital. The KwaZulu-Natal National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, revealed that Skhosana's legal team had made representations to the head of the NPA regarding the case. The state agreed to expedite the outcome of these representations, and a pre-trial conference was held to ensure the trial was ready for commencement.
