KZN man linked to wife's murder returns to court

DURBAN - A KwaZulu-Natal husband linked to the murder of his wife will return to the KwaDukuza Magistrate's Court on Friday.

The matter was postponed last week for bail investigation.

Thobani Nzama and Sipho Mgwaba are linked to the murder of KwaDukuza Local Municipality official Nokulunga Mashabane.

Mashabane was shot and killed in July while travelling home.

Her car was riddled with bullets.

The accused, Nzama and Mgwaba, were nabbed in connection of the murder of Mashabane last week.

Mashabane was a manager for intergovernmental relations and protocol in the office of the mayor.

Her husband, Nzama, was nabbed in connection with the hit.

He and his co-accused, Gwaba, made their first court appearance last week, where they were remanded in custody.

Political parties and civil organisations have vowed to return to court.
