Judge Ramarumo Monama convicted Ndlovu for benefitting from insurance claims of more than R1.4 million.
She was filmed by an alleged hitman while plotting to kill her sister, her sister’s children and her elderly mother. Ndlovu is facing additional separate charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The charges were in connection with an alleged murder plot in 2018 to kill two police officers, Sergeant Benneth Mabunda and Colonel Nthipe Boloka. The officers had investigated the multiple murders in which she was ultimately sentenced.
