Established to investigate political violence and killings, The National Task Team in Kwazulu-Natal has made headway in the murder case of a 35-year-old ward councillor from the Umvoti Municipality in Greytown.
Police spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe explains that the task team has arrested a man in connection with the murder of Cllr Thembinkosi Lombo, who was gunned down on 25 February 2022 in the Greytown CBD.
“At the time of his death, he was serving as an ANC councillor for ward 13 in the Umvoti Municipality.”
On Saturday, 26 March 2022, police traced 20-year-old Lalelani Zondi to Jeppestown, Johannesburg.
Mathe claims that the suspect has already appeared before the Greytown Magistrates’ Court on a charge of murder, and will appear again on Monday, 04 April 2022.
The Task Team has not ruled out the possibility of arresting more suspects in this matter.
