On 20 May 2026, Mudau told Newzroom Afrika about what happened at his home on Sunday morning, February 23, 2018. He described how a man named Walter knocked on his door and asked to speak with him. Walter then revealed that people had been hired by Mudau’s wife to arrange his murder. At first, Mudau did not believe it and defended his wife, but the warnings proved true.
How Mudau's ex-wife plotted his murder attempt
Court evidence showed that Ndlovu and Mudau’s ex-wife were close colleagues and friends, even though they worked at different police stations. Testimony revealed that Mudau’s ex-wife first asked Ndlovu for help in killing her husband. Before that, she had tried and failed to poison his food. When that did not work, she turned to Ndlovu, thinking she could help find hitmen. Ndlovu is now serving several sentences for murder in other cases.
Mudau said the eight-year ordeal was a huge shock and caused him to suffer from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which led to nearly six months in a psychiatric ward. He lived in constant fear and could not sleep for years, something his loved ones saw firsthand. Now that the legal case is over and a conviction has been secured, he feels a great sense of relief and can finally sleep again. He hopes that once sentencing is finished, he can move on from the trauma and get back to a normal life.
