Yibanathi MacGyver Ndema has been found guilty of murdering his wife, Noluvuyo Nonkwelo-Ndema, and cementing her body under their bathtub, with police exhuming her remains two years after she was reported missing.
“I’m deeply and truly sorry for hitting and hurting you, Nolly. I had no right at all and don’t expect you to understand. I wish and hope you can all find a way to forgive me.”This plea for forgiveness was one of several text messages Yibanathi MacGyver Ndema sent to his wife, Noluvuyo Nonkwelo-Ndema, and about 20 other people.
Police DNA tests have confirmed the body of a woman who was found buried under the bath of a home at Zingqayi near Butterworth two months ago, is that of Noluvuyo Nonkwelo-Ndema who disappeared two years ago.
