Ndlovu was arrested after a police sting operation in which she was recorded telling hitmen to kill Joyce and her children by burning them alive in their house. She had wanted to make it look like an accidental death which would result in her getting a hefty sum from insurance policies.
Mabunda said he was surprised when he got a call from an insurance company wanting to verify Ndovu’s whereabouts and the status of her case after they had received a telephonic claim from her. The threats reached Mabunda through a police informant. Mabunda opened a case against Ndlovu and beefed up security around his family while keeping them in the dark about the threats made against them.
Mabunda said he would attend his son’s extramural activities and drop him at home, ordering him to stay indoors. Whenever his wife knocked off after night shift, he would wait for her at her workplace and escort her home, telling her he was concerned the make of their vehicle made her a potential target for hijackings.
They made her sign documents from the insurance company. No payments were made after Runny’s death. Instead, Mabunda pursued an application to have Ndlovu moved from the Johannesburg prison where she was kept to Kgosi Mampuru, a C-Max facility with more stringent security. Mabunda said his investigations had led him to believe Ndlovu’s modus operandi of insuring and killing for cash began way before 2012, when her cousinwas found murdered in Kaalfontein. She claimed R131,000 for his death and contributed R200 for his funeral. Mabunda said there were possibly other relatives who died before Homu and that he and the prosecution team were conducting investigations.
