KZN cops accused of multiple murders including ANC councillor
Two KwaZulu-Natal policemen, charged with the murder of an ANC ward councillor in eThekwini and three other people, are planning on asking for bail next week.
Mayendran Chetty and Thanduxolo Phelago appeared before the Scottburgh Magistrate's Court on Wednesday on charges of murdering Cyril Nzimande and Yelo Buthelezi in August.
They've also been accused of robbery with aggravating circumstances and the unlawful possession of a firearm.
"They were remanded into custody and their matter returns to court on 25 November 2022, for a bail application," says KZN NPA spokesperson Natasha Kara.
