The victims include her sister, nephew, niece, cousin and her boyfriend. Ndlovu was also charged with four accounts of defrauding insurance companies.
After years of maintaining her innocence Judge Monama found her guilty and handed down the judgement at the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in Gauteng.
