An ANC eThekwini Municipality councillor has briefly appeared in the Umlazi Magistrate’s Court on two counts including conspiracy to commit murder and murder of councillor Sibusiso Maphumulo.

The councillor appeared under heavily armed police guard.

The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal says it is disappointed that its member and councillor of eThekwini Municipality is facing such charges.

Party provincial spokesperson Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu says they want the law to take its course.

Maphumulo was shot and killed outside his home at Umlazi in October. Three suspects appeared in court in 2017 in the same murder case. The accused remains in custody. He will join other accused on December 27.
