In a recent court hearing, four suspects accused of kidnapping and murdering Sfiso Kubheka from eMbalenhle have refused bail.
The suspects, identified as Nonhlanhla Nkosi, Mandla Skhosana, Sibusiso Skhosana, and Seun Mpendzi, face serious charges related to the crime.
The case centers on a debt owed by Sfiso Kubheka to the mother of Nonhlanhla Nkosi. Sfiso had borrowed money from her, and the debt grew significantly over time due to interest.
To alleviate the debt, Nonhlanhla’s mother proposed that Sfiso arrange for the employment of Nonhlanhla, thereby reducing the debt by half.

Sfiso agreed and found a job for Nonhlanhla, initially easing the financial burden.
Tragically, before the debt could be fully settled, Nonhlanhla’s mother passed away. Despite this, Sfiso continued to employ Nonhlanhla, securing her a permanent position.
With his financial situation improving, Sfiso purchased a car. The next day, the suspects allegedly kidnapped him, accusing him of disrespect for buying a car while still owing the debt.
This led to the brutal murder of Sfiso Kubheka.
During the court proceedings, the suspects refused bail, choosing to remain in custody. The judge acknowledged the severity of the crime and the risks involved, agreeing that the suspects should stay in custody until the trial.
The decision to refuse bail reflects the gravity of the accusations and the community’s demand for justice.
