Pietermaritzburg Regional Court convicted and sentenced five men for two counts of murder that they have committed more than 10 years ago. Mduduzi Gwala, 38, Ndodo Bhengu, 36, Xolani Nzama, 27, Nala Hlambisa, 31, and Thulani Zondi, 37, were all sentenced to 10 years in jail for killing Sibusiso Mngadi, 25, and Bho Myeza, 23, of KwaNyuswa.

On 21 December 2003 at about 01:30, the Mngadi family were awoken by the screams of Myeza who shouted for help. When the door was opened, the helpless victim was covered in blood and unknown men were busy stabbing him. They left after the incident and Mngadi was found dead near the house with multiple stab wounds. Both the deceased were friends and the motive of their murder is still unknown. A case of two counts of murder was opened at Inchanga Police Station for investigation.

KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni commended Inchanga detectives for the thorough investigation of the case that led to the arrest, conviction and the sentencing of the ruthless killers who murdered the deceased in front of their loved ones.
