Magaqa, a councillor at the time of his killing, was shot at a car wash in the town of Umzimkhulu in KwaZulu-Natal in July 2017. Four men - Sbonelo Myeza, Mbulelo Mpofana, Mlungisi Ncalane and Sibusiso Ncengwa - have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, murder, attempted murder, malicious damage to property, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, one being a prohibited firearm.
His lawyer, advocate Shane Matthews, told the court that he was appearing in the KwaDukuza Magistrate's Court for the matter. In response, prosecutor Lawrence Gcaba said:"The State is ready to proceed with the trial." "Had we known prior about Mr Ncalane's absence, we would have made alternative arrangements for the sitting on this matter," Gcaba said. Myeza, Mpofana and Ncalane were each granted R5 000 bail in the Umzimkhulu Magistrate's Court in February 2022.Ncengwa, who was the first to be arrested and charged in connection with Magaqa's murder, remains behind bars. Myeza and Mpofana's bail has been extended until Tuesday.
Ncengwa and Ncalane will remain in police custody until their appearance for the murder case on Tuesday.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
