Alleged hitmen in court for KZN municipal manager murder
Three men who were arrested in connection with the killing of a municipal manager near Ladysmith are due to appear in court today.
Reginald Hlongwane and Mzwakhe Hlatshwayo both 32, and 30-year-old Scelo Dlamini, will face murder charges after Uthukela District's Sunatra Khumalo was shot and killed.
