Connie Williamson
TWO suspects were arrested over the weekend for the brutal gunning down of Ndlangubo ANC chairperson Lucas Jiyane last Tuesday.
Nkosinathi 'Sonadi' Seme (28) and Sibahle Ndlovu (35) were arrested in Empangeni on Saturday and appeared in the Mthunzini Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The case was remanded for the 27 October; suspects will remain behind bars until the bail application.
Jiyane was killed in a hail of bullets after four suspects approached his taxi while he was seated with his 10 year-old son at Mgqamzane taxi rank and opened fire. The youngster did not sustain any injuries during the attack.
Regional ANC Chairperson has congratulated the SAPS on apprehending the suspects behind Jiyane's murder.
'The police are doing an excellent job and should be commended for the good work.
'The communities and witnesses also need to feel safe and comfortable and know these criminals are behind bars,' he said.
He urged the community to calm down and assist the police by providing them with information which can assist various cases.
