Charges against siblings dropped in 'funeral policy murder'

Wanda Mbele and his sister Sindiswa Mbele briefly appeared in the Athlone Magistrate's Court yesterday, 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The charges were withdrawn pending further investigation.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 dead 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.
