THE State has provisionally withdrawn charges against Gugulethu siblings who were accused of fraud and money laundering following the murder of actor David “Gums” Manuel.

- MANDILAKHE TSHWETE

Wanda and his sister Sindiswa Mbele briefly appeared in the Athlone Magistrate's Court yesterday morning, months after being arrested in connection with the case.

The charges were withdrawn pending further investigation.

Manuel, best known for his role in ‘Noem My Skollie’, was shot and killed alongside his best friend Alfonso Fisher at his Gugulethu home on October 8, 2024. The Mbele siblings, who live across the road from the victim's house, were initially linked to the double murder. However, they were only charged with fraud and money laundering after allegedly altering a funeral policy taken out on Manuel shortly before his death.
