The suspect was arrested in Mpophomeni and is expected to appear in the Howick Magistrate’s Court.

The arrest brings to five the number of suspects arrested and charged in the case; Ndlovu was shot at home in 2023 in front of his wife and children.

The two accused men, Khayelihle Shabalala and Thabo Mathonsi Chonco, pleaded guilty and indicated they were willing to become state witnesses, while their proceedings are expected to be finalised at the Pietermaritzburg Regional Court on August 21.

According to the PKTT, Inkosi Simphiwe Zuma is considered the alleged mastermind, while investigations continue and outstanding leads are being pursued.

The DA in uMngeni wants justice for our friend and colleague. We continue to believe that the police are not being fully cooperative and transparent with the family, and we will continue to work with our lawyers to hold the state accountable.
— Chris Pappas, DA Mayor of uMngeni, commenting on justice for Ndlovu and police accountability
