ANC councillor Mzimuni Ngiba, accused of murdering his predecessor, claims the state violated his rights by disclosing his medical records in court.
Dehul is representing the eThekwini ward 101 councillor and his co-accused, Nkosinathi Emmanuel Ngcobo. Both face charges of murder and attempted murder.
Mkhize had emerged as the ANC’s preferred candidate in the ward for the 2021 local government elections ahead of Ngiba. He and Nyanga were shot dead while door-to-door campaigning in October 2021. Mkhize went on to win the elections posthumously, prompting by-elections in which Ngiba emerged victorious in February.
“I’m shocked, to say the least, that they are included. I did not consent to the release of my medical records to Shandu or the correctional services. We object to its use in court. Only the part that I submitted may be used,” Ngiba said in his affidavit. However, Dehul said the state’s evidence supported Ngiba’s argument that he has chronic illness, namely gout and hypertension.
