The trial of an alleged instigator linked to last year’s looting incidents in KwaZulu-Natal starts at the Pietermaritzburg Regional Court on Thursday.
Thirty-five-year-old Ndumiseni Khetha Zuma faces charges of incitement to commit public violence and incitement to commit arson.
This is in relation to the burning of the Brookside Mall during last year’s civil unrest in parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
