Former traffic cop sentenced to 12 years for murdering wife's lover
A former traffic officer in Mpumalanga has been sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment for housebreaking and the murder of his wife's lover, Thamsanqa Sbusiso Nkosi. The Mpumalanga Division of the High Court sentenced Abednego Desmond Mbuyane on Tuesday, 3 June 2025. Hawks provincial spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Magonseni Nkosi, confirmed to The South African that Mbuyane killed Nkosi after finding him in a room with his wife at Kwanyoni Lodge, Nelspruit, in April 2023. The former traffic cop had been calling his wife multiple times to no avail. Seeing that she was not answering his calls, he became suspicious and tracked the vehicle she was travelling in, which pointed him to the lodge.

The accused continuously chased the deceased and fatally shot him in the head and shoulder and fled the scene. He later handed himself to the police. During court proceedings, the accused pleaded guilty to murder and housebreaking. However, the State rejected his plea and ruled out the murder as premeditated.
