Rhythm City actor Dumisani Masilela finally got justice as the men who killed him 4 years ago (2nd of August, 2017) were found guilty.
Dumi died in the hospital on the 3rd of August.
The men responsible for his death are 5 in number and this are their details: Bongani John Masombuka, 34, of Tembisa, along with Sfundo Harrison Nkosi, 30, Khumbuzo Solomon Mukhuba, 27, Brian Makhubedu, 24, and Mashudu Malema, 31, all from Ivory Park.
Judge Papi Mosopa who handled the judgement said the five engaged in an orgy of criminal activities, after having hijacked another car before attempting to hijack Masilela.
“The witness said a person alighted from a vehicle that had stopped behind the deceased’s car while they were sitting in it. He said the man went to Dumi’s side of the vehicle, took out a firearm from his waist, then they heard a loud bang,” said Mosopa.
“He said the deceased then drove off and told him (Khumalo) that he was shot. They reached a certain point in Tembisa where they changed seats and he drove the deceased to Tembisa hospital before going to the police station to open a case. While at the police station, he heard that Masilela had died.”
Sfundo Harrison Nkosi who is one of the accused plead with the judge: “I am very sorry for what happened to Dumisani’s family and friends, I am asking for forgiveness. I feel sorry for what happened to Dumi and what happened to his family, if I was in their shoes, I would feel the same pain. The court has found me guilty and I am asking that the court give me a lenient sentence so that I can be reintegrated into the community and work for my children,”
