This emerged yesterday when State prosecutor Advocate Nokulunga Ngcobo asked the court to note how Mzamo was abruptly discharged from the prison hospital after they questioned his admission there.

“We deal with the issue of him being admitted to a medical ward. We established that he has connections and he was favoured in prison,” Ngcobo said.
