Durban, South Africa — The KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) has apprehended a well-known traditional healer from KwaMashu in relation to a triple murder case that has been under investigation since May and June 2020.
The healer is accused of orchestrating the deaths of Thamsanqa Kingdom Gcabashe, an African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) member, and two eThekwini Metro Police officials, Lindokuhle Madonsela and Ndumiso Thusi.
The triple murder has been a focal point of investigation, with the PKTT linking and charging five individuals, including ANC branch committee member Holy Shozi, in connection with the crime.
The mistaken killing of Gcabashe, who was not the intended target, led to the subsequent deaths of Madonsela and Thusi.
The PKTT’s investigation revealed that the suspect believed Madonsela was involved in an intimate relationship with his wife and arranged for his murder. This arrest is considered a significant breakthrough in the case, with police sources indicating an extensive and thorough investigation.
The arrest of the traditional healer has been met with a mix of reactions, with some welcoming the move as a step towards justice and others questioning the broader implications of the case and the effectiveness of the investigation.
As the trial for the charged individuals progresses, the public will be closely monitoring the case to understand its implications for the state of law and order in the region.
