Ntuli conveys condolences to family following killing of 7 relatives

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli has told relatives of seven Newark family members who were kidnapped and murdered, that his office will do all it can to ensure that the accused get harsh sentences.

He visited the family of businessman Allan Monswamy to convey condolences from himself as well as President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Monswamy, his wife and children, as well as three other relatives living with them were kidnapped during a break-in on Tuesday night. Money was transferred out of their accounts after they were forced to give the banking pins before being killed.

Ntuli says their prayer is that the perpetrators get a harsh sentence.

“They must rot in jail so that we know that we have eliminated them from within our society. Hence we always make a call that our people in KwaZulu-Natal when they see someone committing crime they must report them to the police. In order to avoid  such damages, it is important that those who have illegal firearms are reported to the police.”
