Alleged killer cop Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu got hot under the collar when she was asked about how her sister, Audrey Somisa Ndlovu, had managed to pay substantial amounts for life and funeral cover while she only made R2,700 in her job as a security guard.
Former cop Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu fanned herself and complained of swollen ankles and dizziness while under cross-examination on Monday.
It is the state’s case that on the day before Audrey died, Ndlovu had visited her Thembisa room. As the two sisters walked to the premises where Audrey lived, she stopped to make small talk with a neighbour and introduced Ndlovu to her neighbour — referred to in court as Mrs Ngoepe. The neighbours, including Audrey’s boyfriend who lived in the back of a house opposite hers, cut through her burglar bars and found Audrey dead in the house. Her body had started to decompose under the blanket.
She said bumping over the cups was accidental and while she did put the cups in a basin, she did not know it had water in it.Maybe if I had said that we had drank tea in the room, the court could see it as tampering of evidence. But we drank the tea outside the room. “I did mention that I bumped the cups, they fell and I took the cups as I was on my way out, but it was not done intentionally. It’s not something that I had set out to do. At the time, I was crying and hysterical,” Ndlovu answered.
“What was in it?” Williams asked, questioning whether it was black, white, had sugar or any other substance in it.On how Audrey, who was employed as a security guard, had been able to survive and also pay numerous life insurance policies, Ndlovu said besides her side-hustle, Audrey had in the past had a boyfriend who had a good job, at times even supporting her financially. Ndlovu said she too would assist Audrey with rent money or with Tupperware sales.
