Four suspects — including the uncle of the late DA councillor Nhlalayenza Ndlovu — are expected to apply for bail at the Howick Magistrate’s Court soon. The case stems from the tragic killing of Ndlovu, who was found dead in December 2023, sending shockwaves through the political landscape.
Authorities have remained tight-lipped about the motive behind the killing, but the involvement of a close family member among the accused has drawn intense public interest and speculation. The Democratic Alliance has called for a thorough and transparent investigation, emphasizing the need for justice to be served without fear or favour.
As the court prepares to hear the bail applications, the community—and the political sphere—await further developments in a case that has stirred both grief and questions of trust.
