The pair are accused of attempting to hire hitmen to kill Mudau's now-ex-husband in 2018, but the plan fell apart when the hitman turned on them.

Njabula Vincent Kunene, the first witness of the trial, told the court that he warned Mudau's ex-husband, Justice, about the plot to take his life.

Kunene's friend Jabulani Mtshali was allegedly the first person Mudau contacted to kill her ex-husband. Mtshali roped Kunene into the murder for hire in February 2018.

The "hitmen" met with Mudau outside a bottle store in Thembisa to outline the plan. The former cop told the man that she wanted her then-husband dead because he was causing problems and cheating on her, SowetanLIVE reported.

Kunene took special care to inform the court that Mudau met them in her uniform.
