Sentencing proceedings continued in the Durban regional court on Wednesday for three KwaZulu-Natal men convicted of the attempted murder of policeman Capt Gysbert Grotius at Amanzimtoti, south of Durban in 2021.
Ndabezinhle Mvune, Hopewell Mthimkhulu and Thamisanqa Msabala, who pleaded not guilty, were convicted last month.
According to court papers Grotius, an air wing officer, took his dog for a walk in the early evening on August 29. He encountered a taxi with Mvune and Msabala, and after a verbal confrontation the pair were joined by Mthimkhulu.
