Former Umzimkhulu Municipal manager Zweliphansi Skhosana denies allegations that he was involved in the murder of former ANC Youth League Secretary General and Local councilor Sindiso Magaqa in 2017.
Skhosana is applying for bail in the Umzimkhulu Magistrates Court in the south of KwaZulu-Natal.
He was implicated as one of the middlemen in the murder plot, in a confession made by hitman Sibusiso Ncengwa in the Pietermaritzburg High Court last month.
