eMpembeni killings spike after cops leave

This ambush on May 10 brings the number of people who died brutally in this rural area near Richard’s Bay to 10 since July last year.

A well-known story is that the trigger was first pulled last July after mining big shots – who no one has been able to identify by name or the company they represented – met the community and traditional leadership to introduce a planned oil project in 2017. Speculation is that the Ncube family attack is to do with the tenders and resistance against relocations.

“It gives me no satisfaction to say that I was right. Four more people have died because they did not receive the protection which is their constitutional right from the police.” The police said they had made a breakthrough when they arrested tender kingpin Justice Ngwane on February 24 in connection with Vusi Gundane Dube’s murder. Dube was shot and killed in a hail of bullets on February 3.
