KZN hitman and suspect in Senzo Meyiwa murder handed six life terms
A notorious KwaZulu-Natal hitman has been handed six life sentences.
Thirty-two-year-old Fisokuhle Ntuli was sentenced to a further 39 years in the Esikhawini Regional Court on Tuesday.
He was convicted last October on various counts, including six of murder and one of attempted murder.
The KZN National Prosecution Authority's Natasha Kara says the victims were attacked in the Nongoma area between 2015 to 2018.
One of them was the African National Congress councillor Thami Nyambe.
His wife was seriously hurt in the 2016 attack.
"In sentencing Ntuli, Magistrate PES Madida mentioned that Ntuli must only be considered for parole after serving 25 years in prison.
"The National Prosecuting Authority welcomes the sentence and commends all stakeholders who participated in this successful prosecution."
Separately, Ntuli is also among the suspects linked to the murder of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.
