Two Convicted For Last July Public Violence

Sihle Jali and Sifiso Ngcobo, to five years imprisonment each, on charges of public violence. They were arrested in July 2021,  for violent conduct at the Engen garage, on Nandi Drive, during the unrest that occurred in KwaZulu-Natal.

The men were sentenced in terms of Section 276 (i) of the Criminal Procedure Act, which means that they may be placed under correctional supervision, at the discretion of the Correctional Commissioner. The matter was successfully finalised by Acting Regional Court Prosecutor, Thami Njapha.

The NPA applauds the successful prosecution, and we commend the work done by the Prosecution and the Police.
