DURBAN – The Provincial Commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has applauded the resilience of the Political Killings Task Team members and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) whose relentless efforts in solving political killings related cases are bearing desired fruits.
This after the Political Killings Task Team detectives charged two suspects for the murder of Xolani Ndlovu-Ntombela who was shot and killed at his home in Mpophomeni in November 2022. The motive of his killing was linked to the illegal sale of land at Emasosheni area which he was exposing.
The suspects, aged 55 and 23 years old, were already in custody where one is busy in the process of applying bail whereas the other is awaiting trial for another case of murder. The suspects were charged for murder, conspiracy to commit murder and possession of unlicenced firearms and ammunition. This case is one of the 121 dockets which were recently returned to the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal.
The two suspects will appear in the Howick Magistrate’s Court today, Monday, 8 September 2025.
