SindisoMagaqaMurder: Mayor, co-accused remanded in custody
A senior African National Congress mayor who was arrested for the murder of former ANC youth league secretary general Sindiso Magaqa will remain in custody with his co-accused until a formal bail application takes place next week.
Ndobe appeared with accused number one, Sbonelo Lindelani Myeza 39; accused number two, Mbulelo Innocent Mpofani, 34; and accused number three, Zweliphansi Skhosana, 48.The men are all being charged with a common purpose – meaning they allegedly conspired to kill Magaqa and his colleagues, Nontsikelelo Mafa and Jabu Msiya, in July 2017, in a premeditated act.
A large police contingent and hundreds of ANC supporters gathered at the court early on Tuesday waiting for Ndobe to arrive. When he was eventually driven into the grounds, he remained seated in a vehicle at the back entrance to the court prior to appearing. He is number three on the ANC’s provincial candidate list, meaning he was assured another top government position following the May 8 elections. His municipality last year tabled a R751 million budget.
