THE trial of three men accused of kidnapping and killing Gabisile Shabane and her nephew Nkosikhona Ngwenya was postponed to today.
Gabisile (13) and Nkosikhona (15) were killed in 2018. Gabisile had albinism while Nkhosikhona didn’t, but was mistaken to have it because of his light complexion.
The suspects appeared in the Middelburg High Court on Wednesday, where the case was postponed because the mastermind sangoma Thokozani Msibi (35) terminated his lawyer Werner Smit’s services.
