Two convicted for roles in Nkabinde assassination guarding Bongi Sithole
TWO men convicted for their roles in the Sifiso Nkabinde assassination, which rocked the country and made international headlines in January 1999, are now VIP bodyguards of uMgungundlovu District Municipality Mayor Bongi Sithole
Jelal, from Richmond, was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to murder and unlawful possession of a machine gun.
He was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment in October 2000.
A Witness investigation has also established that despite Jelal’s status as a security officer having been withdrawn due to the conviction, he is now working as a bodyguard and carries a firearm — which violates his parole conditions.
Violence Monitor Mary de Haas, who also sits on the Psira advisory board, said a person with a conviction record involving murder can never work in an environment where they would carry a firearm.
