The ruling in the case against former soldier Lwanda Zungu, who is accused of killing his wife Tania, was delayed at the Pinetown Regional Court on Tuesday morning.
A congested court roll at the Pinetown Regional Court has delayed judgment in the murder trial against Lwanda Mxolisi Zungu, who is accused of fatally shooting his wife, Tania Zungu, in January 2024.
Zungu, a former South African National Defence Force (SANDF) reservist, is accused of shooting his wife eight times with a semi-automatic firearm at their home in Pinetown. At the time of the incident, the couple’s children and Tania’s mother were inside the house and allegedly heard her final cries for help.
On Tuesday, Magistrate Muntukayise Khumalo told the court that he had not yet completed drafting his judgment because he had been occupied with preparing judgments in other matters on the court roll.
“As such, I will need a few more days to deliver this judgment,” he said.
