Senzo Meyiwa’s notorious hitman has been convicted on six counts of murder.
The man whose name is Fisokuhle Ntuli appeared in the Esikhaleni regional court in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday for sentencing after he was convicted on six counts of murder, one attempted murder charge and four counts of being in possession of unlawful firearms and ammunition a day earlier.
The former Bafana Bafana captain was shot dead in East Johannesburg and ever since then, his family and friends have been trying their possible best to get to the root of the matter.
Ntuli, who was arrested by the task team investigating political killings in the province, has been found guilty of the 2016 murder of ANC councillor Thami Nyembe, who was gunned down in Nongoma.
Nyembe’s wife sustained serious injuries during the shooting but survived the encounter.
According to national police spokesperson Brig Vishnu Naidoo, Ntuli is among the accused in the Meyiwa murder case.
“He is charged separately in the matter of Senzo Meyiwa. He is accused [number] five in that matter.”
Ntuli’s case was adjourned on Tuesday to December 9 for sentencing after his attorney Scelo Zungu applied for a pre-sentence report to be presented in court.
