A man believed to be the mayor of Newcastle was arrested in connection with the murder of Wandile Manqasha Ngubeni.
The African National Congress Youth League in KwaZulu-Natal has learnt with shock of the arrest of a senior leader of the ANC in connection with the murder in May 2016 of Wandile Manqasha Ngubeni, then deputy chairperson of the youth league.
A group of ANCYL leaders were attacked in a restaurant in Newcastle where their assailants sprayed them with bullets. Manqasha was killed and Mafika Mndebele, the Regional Secretary of the ANCYL In EMalahleni Region was seriously wounded. “We believe that their continued stay in these positions is harming the image of the ANC. The ANC as a leader of society cannot allow itself to be in conflict with people.
However, the youth league said while it commended the work of the police, those arrested were only the assassins and that the architects of the murders, who they allege hold high office in the organisation, were still free.
