IT was a long day for Skeem Saam actress Amanda Manku’s dad, his girlfriend, and the alleged gunman.
William Manku (53), Nonhlanhla Ngubo (42) and David Khoza (40) are enduring an extended bail application process at Magatle Magistrates Court in Zebediela, Limpopo.
This is after their matter was postponed on Tuesday, 1 February.
The three are facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder, robbery with aggravated circumstances, attempted murder, two counts of murder and defeating the ends of justice.
According to police spokesman Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba, the suspects were bust by members of the Limpopo murder and robbery, provincial tracking team, Benoni flying squad after a 70-year-old mother (Letty Maphothoma) and her 45-year-old daughter (Gladys Manku) were shot dead while fetching water at a local tap on 4 May 2021.

Nonhlanhla Ngubo’s lawyers is currently cross-examining the investigating officer who can’t be mentioned for bail application.
While being questioned, the witness said that she doesn’t think Nonhlanhla should get bail.
In one of her reasons, she stated that accused three should be denied bail as she might be a danger to the public or witnesses.
The officer also said she has evidence why she thinks accused three might do something if granted bail.
“When I started investigating the case, I went to Gauteng where they work. They were both not at work and I continued with my investigation.
“I found out that they are lovers and when there was a fight between Manku and his late wife Gladys, she would call her husband at work and accused number three would answer the call and curse or insult her,” she said.
