Hawks on hunt for 2 people of interest in KZN cop killing
Mbanjwa, 33, was shot and killed at her home in Umzimkhulu last April.
Her fiancé, Sergeant Ntokozo Mngqithi, and Bhungane Hadebe are currently behind bars in connection with her murder.
Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Simphiwe Mhlongo said Sanele Mthembu and Xolani Ngobese/Ndlovu are believed to have critical information that could aid in solving the case.
'Sanele Mthembu was last seen in the Dambuza area in Pietermaritzburg, where he was running a tuckshop. He is originally from Bulwer,' Mhlongo added.
'Xolani Ngobese/Ndlovu was last seen in Edendale, Pietermaritzburg. He used to reside in the Capital City Housing NPC flats and was self-employed as an Uber driver.'
Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to contact Warrant Officer Sipho Mnguni on 082 556 9559.
Mngqithi is facing an additional charge of corruption and defeating the ends of justice, relating to a separate case where he allegedly demanded a R60 000 bribe to quash a culpable homicide docket.
He was investigating a case in which a truck collided with a light motor vehicle, killing seven passengers in November 2022.
