Pietermaritzburg regional court magistrate Balraj Dehaloo has expressed his frustration over further delays in the trial of murder-accused KwaZulu-Natal police officer Sandile Mkhize.

This is after Legal Aid lawyer Fezeka Majola informed the court that his client would no longer be forging ahead with the plea bargain initially agreed to with the state. As part of the agreement, the defence had proposed that the imprisonment sentence be reduced to 10 years as opposed to 15 years.

Mkhize is charged with the murder of his girlfriend Sindisiwe Ndlovu on December 17 2019, at Thokazani location in New Hanover. Ndlovu was the provincial executive committee member of the ANC Youth League and an official at the department of arts & culture. Court prosecutor Nangamso Matta assured the court that they were ready to proceed with the trial. “We are ready. Whether is it tomorrow or today,” said Matta.“The plea bargain took virtually the whole day. The prosecutors shared that the defence wanted the plea bargain to be taken to director of public prosecutions,” he said.

LETTER: Just prosecute alreadyThe public is baying for blood and my great fear is that the more excitable among us will start taking the law into their own hands in frustration. I just want to thank you KATHERINE_4174 for being there for me Madam. Lately, i saw that my profit has been credited back to my wallet account. I was curious and it's also exciting.. You are the true Madam🙏🙏🙏!!! Also limit the charge sheet to a few investigated and winnable cases each & investigate the rest of their crimes when the culprits are safely imprisoned. Be explicit that the culprits will not escape prosecution of their other crimes & so change the political culture in the NPA.
