ANOTHER FRAUD CASE PENDING

However, Njilo – who is the son of the former mayor of Msunduzi Municipality, Themba Njilo – is not entirely off the hook as he is expected to appear at the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court on 20 June with his business partner, Kwanda Ntshangase.

According to a statement by KZN police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, Njilo and his accomplice reportedly masqueraded as salesmen who pretended to sell a truck in May 2021.

“The unsuspecting buyer allegedly went and physically viewed the truck at a dealership in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, and later paid the two a substantial amount of money. The truck was never delivered,” read the statement.

In April, Njilo was granted R30 000, while Ntshangase, received R3 000 bail.

The bail condition for both the accused was to report to their nearest police stations twice a week and not leave the country or be found on the wrong side of the law.
