Former police officer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu on Tuesday tried to explain away the incriminating video footage.
Former police constable Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu giving her testimony during her murder trial in the high court sitting at the Palm Ridge court, south of Johannesburg.Former police officer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu says the incriminating video footage, depicting her telling an undercover cop and would-be hitman how she wanted them to kill her sister and her sister's five children, was all an act.
Testifying before the high court, sitting in Palm Ridge, on Tuesday, Ndlovu said she had been coached and told exactly what to say by Njabulo Kunene — the man who told the police Ndlovu had hired him to carry out the murder of her sister, Joyce, and her five children. The youngest of the children was just five months old at the time.
“All the responses that I was giving was something I was told to say by Njabulo before we met with [the undercover cop] when they picked me up from hospital,” said Ndlovu.Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu says she recounted what the alleged hitman had told her to say, in the now-infamous video footage.More undercover footage has been revealed of a former Thembisa police officer allegedly telling a hitman how to kill her sister and her sister’s five young children on March 7 2018.
“Njabulo and I stood there and had a discussion of how I should respond. He said the driver was a thug and he would agree to take us to Bushbuckridge only if he knew we were going to do something that would get us money. I was coached by Njabulo to reply in that manner,” Ndlovu told the court.The video she is referring to is part of the state’s case against her.
This video was obtained after Kunene had told police he was being hassled by Ndlovu, who had wanted him to carry out the hit. The police set up a sting operation that led to them planting a recording device in the car and capturing Ndlovu explain how she wanted the six to be killed.
