The murdered witness was allegedly a former ANC treasurer in the eMalahleni region.
A man believed to be a witness in the murder case against Newcastle mayor Dr. Ntuthuko Mahlaba was gunned down in Newcastle on Sunday.
“I can’t confirm that for now. The team is working very hard to link [the victim] and verify the details of the deceased. For now, we as the SAPS can’t say for sure,” Serero said, committing to provide further details later. The mayor, who was sworn in on March 1 following the resignation of advocate Makhosini Nkosi in mid-January, has vehemently denied any of the charges and was released on R20,000 bail in April.
Barely two months after Ngobeni was murdered, eMalahleni ward 6 candidate-councillor Thembi Mbongwa, 35, was shot dead at her home in front of her husband and children.
