Former municipal boss re-arrested in Magaqa murder case

UMZIMKHULU -The former municipal manager of uMzimkhulu Municipal KwaZulu-Natal has been re-arrested after he was linked to the murder of ANC Youth League Secretary General Sindiso Magaqa.

The 55-year-old Zweliphansi Skhosana made a brief appearance before the Umzimkhulu Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

The matter was postponed to 1 August to allow for the defence to appoint a counsel to deal with the matters of bail.

Skhosana was first arrested in 2018 with the late uMzimkhulu mayor, Mluleki Ndobe but those charges were later dropped.

This arrest follows the 85-year sentence of hitman Sibusiso Ncengwa, who confessed to killing Magaqa. 

Magaqa was shot in July 2017 and died of his injuries weeks later.
