The Durban High Court yesterday found brothers - Dylan and Ned Govender - not guilty for the murder of Mondli Majola during the civil unrest in Phoenix in KwaZulu-Natal in 2021. They were however found guilty on a charge of attempted murder and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Majola was among at least 30 people who were killed in Phoenix, north of Durban during that time.

Handing down judgement, Judge Gregory Kruger said the State had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused killed Majola. We spoke to NPA spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara about the ruling.
