The National Prosecuting Authority released a media statement confirming that "Sibusiso Ncengwa was convicted of conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. Magaqa, former Secretary General of the ANC Youth League, was shot in July 2017 and succumbed to his injuries after spending time in hospital. Sentencing proceedings will commence on 30 June 2025 at the Pietermaritzburg High Court." 

The NPA's aggressive stance in prosecuting violent crimes has yielded results, demonstrating its commitment to justice and accountability.
