A 31-YEAR-OLD suspect is expected to appear before the Bethal Magistrate court on Monday, 27 March.

He was arrested for impersonating an attorney.

Ngcongo was fatally wounded on 12 September 2019.

"Information was received that Ngcongo was shot by two suspects who sped off after the shooting and later Phindokuhle Eugene Nkosi (30), who was the driver of the van used on the day in question, was traced and arrested by Bethal SAPS members.

"After a series of court appearances, Nkosi was found guilty on 20 October 2020 and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment by the High Court sitting in Delmas on 23 October 2020 for murder.

"A Warrant of arrest was authorised for the arrest of Mntungwa," she said. 

Sekgotodi said Mntungwa was eventually arrested on 1 February by the Provincial tracking team in KZN.

"Mntungwa was charged and appeared before the Bethal Magistrates Court and was remanded in custody. The case was postponed to 24 March 2023. He was represented by his fake attorney who was arrested by the Hawks Secunda serious organised crime investigation and Secunda serious commercial crime investigation for impersonating an attorney."

She said both accused will appear again on Monday, 27 March. Mntungwa will be appearing for murder while the other suspect will appear on charges of impersonating an attorney.
