Four of the alleged extortionists who terrorised Khayelitsha during the Covid-19 lockdown are set to go on trial next year in a court attached to a prison, for security reasons. | itchybyte

Yanga"Bara" Nyalara, Wanda Tofile, Manelisi Nguma and Lundi Zweni are accused of 18 murders and six attempted murders, according to the summary of the terror timeline in their indictment.

Standing in the dock wearing the upmarket labels Lacoste, Fabiani and BOSS, the four were told there had been no judges available sooner due to a backlog in the court roll, and 20 judges currently occupied with other criminal matters. The ex-teacher-turned-taxi-owner hails from Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape and is accused of being the mastermind behind shooting people who would not pay, or killing rival extortionists.
