Reading Time: 3 minutes

Convicted killer and former police officer, Rosemary Nomia Ndlovu, is on Wednesday morning expected to be back in court where she will face charges for plotting to murder two police officers.

Ndlovu will appear at the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court.

The charges she currently faces include plotting the murder of Sergeant Benneth Mabunda and Colonel Nthipe Boloka.

Mabunda was the investigating officer in Ndlovu’s case while Boloka was the station commander at the police station where she worked.

Six life sentences 

Last year, the High Court sitting in Palm Ridge handed the former police officer six life sentences for murder, attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice and fraud.

Ndlovu killed six of her relatives and benefitted from insurance claims to the value of over R1.4-million.

The murders Ndlovu has been found guilty of:

  • Witness Madala Homu in March 2012, cashing in R131 000 from insurance policies;  
  • Sister Audrey Ndlovu killed in 2013, cashing in R717 000;  
  • Boyfriend Morris Mabasa murder, cashing in R416 000;  
  • Niece Zanele Motha who died in June 2016, cashing in R120 000 from the insurance;  
  • Mayeni Mashaba who died in 2017;  
  • Mashego who was murdered in January 2018

The former police officer was arrested in 2018 following a sting operation which ultimately led to her being caught on camera while allegedly detailing what she wanted to be done by the alleged hitmen when they kill her sister Joyce and her five children. 

During cross-examination, state prosecutor, Rianna Williams told the court that she was in possession of cellphone records, which proved that Ndlovu made multiple calls to two alleged hitmen, one of whom was an undercover police officer, known as Mr. Dlamini. 

In a secretly recorded video, Ndlovu can be seen and heard telling Mr. Dlamini to burn Joyce and her five kids leaving behind no witnesses so that they could cash in on insurance policies.
