A Pietermaritzburg standup comedian and his sister who were sentenced to 18 years for murder are a step closer to fighting for their freedom.
The siblings, whove spent seven years in prison, have been granted leave to appeal their 2016 murder conviction and sentence at the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
Theyve been released on bail pending their application.
Life for the two Ndlovu siblings from Nxamala, outside Pietermaritzburg, dramatically changed in 2016 after an alleged intruder broke into their home, stole some of their belongings, and fled.
Sithembiso (31) and Nokuthula Ndlovu (48) claimed that a vigilante group in the community later brought the alleged suspect, who was badly assaulted, to their home.
