The Pietermaritzburg high court has set a trial date for two accused of murdering the former secretary-general of the ANCYL, Sindiso Magaqa. This comes after one of the accused, Sibusiso Ngcengwa, pleaded guilty two weeks ago, implicating his co-accused. Initially the state was set to prosecute four men for Magaqa's murder but one, Mlungisi Ncalane, was declared unfit to stand trial and was admitted to a mental institution, while Ngcengwa pleaded guilty.
