ANC councillor’s killers to apply for bail on February 14

The formal bail application for three persons detained in connection with the murder of ANC ward councillor Sboniso Ntshangase has been postponed until February 14.

Monday, Blessing Ntombela, 30, Blessing Dlamini, 39, and Andile Gamede appeared in court in Piet Retief, Mpumalanga, on three counts of murder, attempted murder, and theft of a firearm.

All defendants have been held in police custody till their next court appearance; however, Gamede has indicated that he would not ask for bail with his colleagues.

In January, Ntshangase, Sandile Khumalo, and Sizwe Mbingo were allegedly shot by armed suspects in Mkhondo, also known as Piet Retief, according to the Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Brigadier Selvy Mohlala.

The suspects allegedly fired multiple bullets at Ntshangase, Mbingo, and Khumalo before escaping in an undetermined direction. According to Mohlala, Ntshangase and Mbingo were shot while already in a yard, while Khumalo was killed inside a bakkie.
