DURBAN - THE MAN serving a life sentence for beheading a man and trying to sell his head to a traditional healer was escorted from Westville Prison to court by heavily armed Emergency Support Teams (EST) member to testify against his friend.
Philani Jojisa was convicted of the murder of Thembinkosi Nzimakwe after he pleaded guilty in October 2019.
At the time, Jojisa told the court that he was going to sell the head to a traditional healer for R20 000. He was found with it in his backpack.
He said the money was to be split equally between him and his friend, Lehlohonolo Swartbooi, who is on trial for the same murder.
