A 44-year-old South African woman, Faith Nongcebo Ntombela, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating the murder of her husband, Captain Zwelakhe Ntombela.

The Durban High Court delivered the verdict on Friday, November 29, 2024. Captain Ntombela, a Durban Metro Police officer, was fatally shot on May 3, 2023, outside his home in Umlazi.

Investigations by the Hawks revealed that Faith had stolen her husband’s service and private firearms prior to the incident.

Hawks KZN spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Simphiwe Mhlongo, disclosed that the investigation led to the arrest of 28-year-old Mzo Ntombela in July 2023.

His arrest helped uncover the involvement of Faith, along with her accomplices, primary school principal Sithembiso Khumalo and Khulani Cele, who assisted in hiring a hitman.
