KZN man serves two life terms for murder of teacher and her helper
Three men are serving lengthy sentences for the murder of a 54-year-old Midlands teacher and her helper.
In November 2018, the bodies of Nonhlanhla Zondi and Slindile Buthelezi were found in a sugarcane field near Maqongqo.
Three suspects were arrested in Gauteng a day later - after they were found in possession of Zondi's vehicle and other belongings.
They were convicted and sentenced by the Durban High Court this week.
Kgotso Ntilane was sentenced to two life terms for murder and 15 years imprisonment for robbery, while his two co-accused Nkanyiso Mvuna and Ndumiso Myeni were each sentenced to 15 years for robbery.
