EWN reports that there has been yet another delay in the murder case of a nurse accused of killing her 21-year-old domestic worker for an estimated R6 million insurance payout.
In January 2022, Busiswa Nxumalo’s body was found at a dumping site in Lenasia South, with her throat slit. Sithembile Xulu and her co-accused Simon Mogale briefly appeared at the Lenasia Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on charges of murder and three counts of insurance fraud before a postponement. During Tuesday’s proceedings, the court was informed that Sithembile Xulu had fired her legal representation and had hired a new attorney. She made the move while still applying for bail and facing cross-examination by the state. The presiding magistrate, Syfred Mati, postponed the matter to next week Friday. To date, the case has been postponed four times.
