In a video, Ndlovu is seen and heard driving a hitman and undercover police officer to Bushbuckridge to point out her sister's house, according to TimesLIVE. Ndlovu allegedly wanted the men to set fire to her sister's house while she and her children were present, the youngest of whom was stated to be five months old.

While Ndlovu had only taken out policies on her sister's life, it has been alleged that she wanted the children to be killed because she did not want witnesses to be left alive.

@funie_nems said:

"This is exactly why I don't want people who worship money or love it to a point where they'll do anything to get it near me. WTF guys!?!?"

@Nomondedino said:

"Money is the root of all evil. To plan to wipe out SO many lives - how does one sleep at night? All people that were close to her."

@SydenhamStekkie said:

"This is a particularly chilling murder case - ordering hits on children is unthinkable. It reminds me of other cases where guilty people create ironclad alibis by being at gym (Dalia Dippolito) or leaving the country, ermmm, etc..."

"Apparently, she had various policies with different companies. She knew how to keep money low enough to not raise alarms. I also think so many murders in SA aren't properly investigated and she knew and took advantage."

@Shaunjhb1 said:

"Same people entrusted with the responsibility of protecting us are killing their own families. That explains the state of the country."
