“How Will We Move From This”: KZN Woman Arrested After Ordering Hit on Her Own Sister in Camperdown

• A KwaZulu-Natal woman has been arrested for allegedly hiring a hitman to murder her own sister
• The victim, Fundisa Mngwengwe, was found stabbed to death at her home on 20 March 2026, next to her toddler, who witnessed the entire attack
• What made the case even more disturbing was what the accused sister allegedly did in the days after the murder, before her arrest

On 26 May 2026, Facebook user @izimvozabahlali shared a deeply disturbing story from Camperdown, KwaZulu-Natal, on the Julie Jules group. Fundisa Mngwengwe, 34, was found stabbed multiple times at her home in the Mkhambathini area near Pietermaritzburg on 20 March 2026.

Her toddler, believed to be between two and three years old, was right there when it happened. The child was physically unharmed but has not been the same since.

Police arrested the alleged hitman shortly after the investigation progressed. He was a neighbour who knew both sisters well. A day after his arrest, Fundisa's own sister, Nikiwe Mngwengwe, was also taken into custody.

Both appeared briefly in the Camperdown Magistrate's Court on 26 May 2026 and are expected to apply for bail the following week.

A family feud that turned deadly

According to family members, the relationship between the two sisters had been falling apart for some time. At the centre of the conflict was a dispute involving a taxi that belonged to Nikiwe, which was allegedly burnt down, with Fundisa accused of being behind the arson.

The family knew things had gotten bad between them, but nobody imagined it would end this way. Their brother spoke outside court and said the family was completely broken.

"We don't know how we'll ever move from this."

What deepened the pain even further was that in the days after Fundisa's death, Nikiwe had reportedly been comforting relatives and helping with funeral arrangements. When rumours began spreading through the community, Mdunyiswa said he confronted her directly. She denied everything. Then came the arrest.
