A South African woman, Nonjabulo Nokukhanya Nkosiwho, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the m¥rder of her boyfriend, Dumisani Qwabe, 47, a ward councilor candidate.
Nkosiwho, 37, had planned to hire a hitman to k!ll her boyfriend but failed and instead carried out the murder on her own.
She was sentenced for m¥rder in the Pietermaritzburg High Court..
The National Prosecuting Authority in KZN said Nkosi was in a romantic relationship with Qwabe and at some point she decided to ki!l him.
“She approached Xolani Skhumbuzo Mtambo to arrange for a hitman to k!ll him, but the plan fell through,” said NPA spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara.
She said Nkosi then obtained a firearm and petrol to carry out the k!lling by herself.
“On October 25, 2021, Nkosi met Mtambo at a marketplace, where he loaded the firearm for her, and showed her how to use it. Thereafter, Qwabe received a call from Nkosi and left his house,” Ramkisson-Kara said.
“Later that night, his motor vehicle was found engulfed in flames on the road between Nongoma and Pongola, with his burnt remains inside.”
The NPA said Nkosi did not report to work the next day due to first and second-degree burns she sustained to her left cheek and left hand.
“Following Qwabe’s death, his family members discovered that his cellphone and bank card were still active. Police investigations revealed that Nkosi was using Qwabe’s bank card and banking app to make cash withdrawals and pay for purchases,”Ramkisson-Kara said.
“She was subsequently arrested, and an analysis of her cellphone records led to Mtambo’s arrest, three months later.
