Suspect wanted for killing Msinga school principal at school fatally wounded by NIU
The South African Police Service (SAPS) National Intervention Unit (NIU) tracked down a wanted suspect who is linked to the murder of the late Zwelabantu Zuma, a school principal, who was shot and killed in his office at a school in Msinga in Kwa-Zulu Natal in 2020.
The 40-year-old suspect was wanted for several other cases in KZN including carjacking and for being in possession of an unlicensed firearm.
He was previously arrested but the case was withdrawn in court. The relentless SAPS investigator, presented new evidence before court and a J50 warrant of arrest was issued for the suspect.
On Sunday afternoon, members of the NIU tracked down the suspect to a hostel in Mapetla, Soweto.When the suspect noticed the presence of police, he began shooting and the NIU returned fire, fatally wounding him.
Two other accused in the case of murder of Mr Zwelabantu Zuma are already serving life sentences, while two others died before being trialed. One suspect is still outstanding on this case and police are still searching for the remaining suspect.
