The Durban High Court has sentenced two men to life imprisonment for the murder of ANC member, Siduduzo Magwaza, who was gunned down in January 2021 at Cornubia in Durban.
Magwaza had just been nominated to become the chairperson of the organisation in Ward 102 in the 2021 elections at that time.
The court heard that the two men, Siphamandla Makhanya and Mxolisi Hadebe, were known to Magwaza.
They were members of the project steering committee which dealt with tender projects in the area.
NPA Regional Spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson, says, “The NPA welcomes the sentence and we commend the successful partnerships between the prosecution, the political killings task team in KZN and other stakeholders. We trust that sentences like this deter like-minded individuals.”
