The wife of slain Eastern Cape Social Development Chief of Staff Sakhekile Ndudula has been denied bail in the East London Magistrate’s Court.
Forty-two-year old Bulelwa Ndudula was arrested in Tsomo on Friday and charged with murder following the killing of her husband last month.
Police spokesperson, Captain Mluleki Mbi, said Ndudula was denied bail on Thursday and the case against her remanded until November 8.
Eastern Cape provincial government spokesperson, Sizwe Kupelo, earlier said the deceased was a senior government official working in the office of Social Development MEC Nancy Sihlwayi.
Sakhekile Ndudula was shot several times last month at his Cambridge West home in East London.
At the time police said that a tenant, who resides in the backyard of Ndudula’s home, called a neighbour when he noticed his landlord leaning against his vehicle parked in the driveway. Ndulula’s upper body was covered in blood.
He was later taken to hospital for medical treatment where he succumbed to his wounds.
After three weeks of investigating the murder, police turned their suspicions on his widow, whom they subsequently arrested.
