One of the SAPS’s most wanted suspects in KwaZulu-Natal has been shot dead during a house robbery in Manguzi in the far North of the province this week.
According to ENCA, the police said, Sifiso “Coach” Malwane was also wanted in connection with the murder of anti-crime activist Juda “Mthethwa.
A statement reads: “Sifiso and his accomplice allegedly broke into a house carrying firearms and demanded vehicle keys from the owner of the house. The victim reportedly reached for his firearm and managed to fire shots towards the suspects who ran for their lives. Sifiso, who is also known as ‘Mlungu’, was shot and injured but managed to flee from the scene.
On Monday, 20 April 2026, the Emanguzi Cross Border Intervention Team members received information about an unlawful disposal of a body of a human being at Umgodiwemvubu on Sunday night. Investigations revealed that the body was that of Sifiso Malwane who was shot earlier that night, and he was brought for a clandestine burial by his brother,
Musa Malwane who is also wanted for murders and cross border crimes. The two brothers are also wanted for the murder of traditional healer James “Sgodo” Mthembu.
After following processes, the body of Sifiso was exhumed and investigations are underway.
The search for Musa Malwane is ongoing and a case of defeating the ends of justice is likely to be added on the long list of his violent crimes.”
