As details slowly emerge of how former ANC Youth League secretary general Sindiso Magaqa was killed, Hawks investigators appear to be preparing to once again charge Harry Gwala district mayor Mluleki Ndobe for his murder.
Ndobe had been arrested for the 2017 murder of Magaqa ,along with four other men last month.But charges against him and municipal manager Zwelibanzi Sikhosana were provisionally withdrawn because of insufficient evidence.
Mpofana ,a former taxi owner, was arrested in the same swoop as Ndobe, Sikhosana and two former police officers. One of the men who allegedly carried out the hit, Sgoro Mdunge, was shot dead by police last year. He said that on Monday, while travelling from Westville prison to Umzimkhulu, the investigators again “asked me to help them because I am just a link”.
Moodley revealed that the state had a witness who would testify that Mpofana had organised the hit and that he had paid R94 000 as part payment to other members of the hit squad he had assembled on the same day the shooting took place.
