The Sindiso Magaqa murder case at the High Court in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, has been postponed to next month, to hear arguments about a state application that a defence advocate recuse himself due to an alleged conflict of interests.
State prosecutor Advocate Lawrence Gcaba told the court that Advocate Shane Matthews previously represented hitman Sibusiso Ncengwa , who has pleaded guilty to the murder of the former ANC Youth League secretary general in 2017.
He is now a state witness.
