|July 08, 2025
THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the family of slain ANC Youth League secretary-general, Sindiso Magaqa, have welcomed the 25-year prison sentence handed to Sibusiso Ncengwa, yesterday.
Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Nontuthuzelo Mlaba sentenced Ncengwa, who is already serving a lengthy sentence for unrelated crimes, to 25 years for conspiracy to commit murder, 25 years for murder, and short terms for attempted murder, malicious damage to property, and being in possession of illegal firearms and ammunition.
All sentences will run concurrently.
Ncengwa is now expected to testify against two other accused, who were allegedly present during Magaqa's shooting on July 13, 2017.
"Indeed, the NPA is glad and we are happy for the sentence passed in court, which will be effectively 25 years imprisonment," said NPA spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara.
