The trial of a KwaZulu-Natal man charged with eight counts of murder and two for attempted murder continues.
Sphumelele Jama, 29, is accused of killing eight men in a gang-related war in Richmond on January 14, 2022.
Sihle Brian Mdunge, Mxolisi Lamula, Siyabonga Zamo Shange, Sihle Zama Mbambo, Lindelani Nzimande, Mohamed Omari, Thandiwe Mchunu, and Philasande Mtolo, were shot dead in the Esigcakeni area, Richmond. According to the indictment, Mbambo and the other men who died at his homestead were members of a gang.
Jama resided in the Slahla area, near Richmond, and sometime before the incident, he and his fellow gang members allegedly received information that Mbambo was planning to kill them.“To this end, they armed themselves with firearms. They decided to execute their plan on the night of January 14 2022, and at approximately 8.45pm, they went to Mbambo’s homestead. When they got to his house, Mbambo had nine other people with him,” reads the indictment.
