Johan Edward Ndlovu ( 36 ), was re-arrested by the Hawks Nelspruit based Serious Organised Crime Investigation on Friday, 14 June 2024, for two counts of possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
The arrest followed after Ndlovu, who was forming part of the “Ellese” gang`s cases were withdrawn pending ballistic reports during 2022.
Upon receiving the forensic report, Ndlovu was linked on four cases through ballistics. A warrant of arrest was authorised and the accused was traced and found at Standerton Correctional Services where he is serving 5 x life sentences for murder, armed robbery, intimidation, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
He was sentenced in July 2022 by the Mbombela High Court.
“Ndlovu appeared before the White River Magistrate Court on Friday, 14 June 2024 and the case was postponed to 23 July 2024 for a Regional Court date. Investigation is continuing,” Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi said.
