JOHANNESBURG - Convicted killer Rosemary Ndlovu appeared at the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Tuesday 31 May, spotting a new waist-length hairdo, fresh manicure, and jewellery. The defence team raised concerns about the investigating officer, who Ndlovu allegedly wanted to have killed, communicating with a colleague of the advocate.
The advocate defending Ndlovu said they plan to have the matter escalated. The former police officer faces charges of conspiracy to murder with her co-accused and former cop Nomsa Mudau.

The defence advocate said he felt uncomfortable continuing in the case. He claims the complainant, investigating officer Sergeant Benneth Keshi Mabunda, allegedly phoned his colleague and enquired about her personal information, SowetanLIVE reported.
The advocate argued that the behaviour of Sgt Mabunda was unethical. He said the issues are concerning because another colleague was shot and killed while entering her yard. However, the State advocates said the defence should address the manner with the police and not in court. Magistrate Manyathi recommended that the state and defence address the matter.

South Africans unimpressed
Social media users were concerned about convicted killer Rosemary Ndlovu’s appeared at court:
Tasha Tasha said:
“Where does she get all these things? I thought prison has strict rules and that prisoners wear prison clothes (those orange overalls) and have no connection with the outside world. I mean how does she get to dress up, do her nails etc? What makes her different?”
Lisa O'flattery Van Wyk posted:
“Stop wasting time and money on murders. Bring back the death penalty. Do you think she cared about the people she had killed? Do you think she cares now?? There are better things to spend our money on. Like orphans and education.”
Obakeng Nkadimang wrote:
“This one is too dangerous. She is capable of committing such acts even when she dies and gets cremated.”
Honourable Randela Junior commented:
“Whether they give her 6 or 40 life sentences it doesn't matter, SA prisons are like hotels, they enjoy life more than a normal citizen out on the streets.”
Sellwane Refilwe Khakhau added:
“Ok, this is no longer funny. This is concerning. Why does it seem like our prisons are becoming hostels??”
