Eastern Cape family members have been convicted of killing a 92-year-old relative they accused of witchcraft.
Nonagenarian Nosayinethe Manundu, affectionately known as Mablangwe, had attended a cleansing ceremony after a relative’s funeral in Majuba village, Sterkspruit, in March 2020. The deceased, Samkelo Manundu, was stabbed in Cape Town.
Charges against Tyhokolo and Nontsebenzo Yalwa were withdrawn after they turned state witness. Sikhokhele Velemani’s trial was separated from the others. Mzubongile told the court that on the day of the cleansing ceremony a relative told family elders Samkelo was not dead. He said he then heard there was a fire at Mandunu’s homestead.
