The family of Nhlalayenza Ndlovu, the former uMngeni Municipality DA chief whip who was tragically shot and killed last year, continue to express concerns about their safety. According to the AfriForum Private Prosecution Unit, the family has been forced to abandon their home and seek refuge elsewhere due to extreme fear.

Speaking outside Howick Magistrate’s Court, Andrew Leask, the chief investigator of the unit, revealed that the family is living in constant fear and uncertainty. Thobane Masobho Hlongwa, who appeared in court on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and murder, possession of an unlawful firearm, and possession of unlawful ammunition, remains in custody as the case continues to unfold.

Despite the passage of almost a year since Ndlovu’s tragic death, the family is dissatisfied with the progress of the case. Ndlovu was fatally shot at his home near Mpophomeni, in front of his wife and children, in December last year. Leask emphasized that the family is still awaiting answers and reassurance regarding their safety and the progression of the case.

Concerns have been raised about the lack of response from the authorities, with the family feeling neglected and vulnerable. Despite efforts to engage with the minister and the director of Public Prosecutions, the family has yet to receive a satisfactory response. Leask expressed frustration over the lack of communication and transparency in the investigation process, highlighting the need for heightened security and support for the family.

The state indicated that there are still outstanding suspects in the case, raising further questions about the complexity of the situation. AfriForum’s private prosecution unit, although eager to assist in the investigation, has faced obstacles in collaborating with the police. Major General Dumisani Khumalo of SAPS has been accused of shutting down communication with the Private Prosecution Unit, casting doubt on the police’s commitment to investigating political murders involving opposition party members.

Advocate Gerrie Nel, head of AfriForum’s private prosecution unit, has expressed disappointment at the lack of cooperation from the police in solving the assassination of Ndlovu. Despite attempts to provide valuable information and support to the investigation, the police have shown little interest in collaboration.

In response to the ongoing case, the police spokesperson, Kamogelo Mogotsi, assured that the matter is still under investigation and that the law will take its course. With the family’s safety at stake and the need for justice to prevail, the community remains hopeful for a resolution that brings closure and accountability to those involved in Ndlovu’s tragic death.
