The trial will begin in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Monday and is expected to run until August 12. Former police officer Sibonelo Myeza, businessman Mbulelo Mpofana, Mlungisi Ncalane and Sibusiso Ncengwa are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, murder, attempted murder, malicious damage to property and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, one being a prohibited firearm.

They are accused of acting with common purpose to commit the crimes and, if convicted, face life imprisonment. The late mayor of the Harry Gwala municipality, Mluleki Ndobe, and the Umzimkhulu municipal manager, Zweliphansi Skhosana, were initially charged in the matter but charges were withdrawn due to insufficient evidence.
