SA: Teen confesses to stabbing teacher to death

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

A Pinetown school pupil on Friday confessed in court to killing his teacher in front of fellow pupils.

In a packed courtroom at the Durban High Court, Mazwi Armstrong Mkhwanazi pleaded guilty to the murder of school teacher Nokulunga Ndala on March 28 at Thornwood Secondary School.

In his guilty plea, Mkhwanazi said he had stabbed Ndala twice – in the shoulder and throat – out of anger because she had humiliated him in front of his classmates earlier that day.

The teenager lowered his head and closed his eyes as his defence lawyer read out his statement to the court.

According to Mkhwanazi, Ndala continued to humiliate him

On the day of the murder, Mkhwanazi arrived at school in the morning to write a geography test which had been scheduled to take place in the first lesson of the day, where Ndala was the invigilator.

He said that minutes into the test, Ndala had called out to him, questioned the way he was seated at his desk and then accused him of trying to cheat.

He said that he had tried to explain that the desks were too small for him to fit in properly because he was tall and well-built.

According to Mkhwanazi, Ndala continued to humiliate him and he left the class and went to sit in the school toilet.

After the class had completed the test, he returned to class, but was still angry and embarrassed.

He had then asked his class teacher for permission to go home as he was not feeling well.

He told the court that he went home and drank a bottle of beer in the hope that he would calm down.

But his anger grew and he then decided to return to the school to stab the teacher.

He said that the consequences of his “planned action” had crossed his mind, but that he had ignored the thought.

A few hours later he returned to school with a knife and went to the class where Ndala was teaching, stabbed her and then fled the scene.

Ndala bled to death in the school corridor.

Ndala’s family and colleagues sat silently in the back of court as the guilty plea was read out to the court.

Judge President Vuka Tshabalala accepted Mkhwanazi’s confession, saying that the court had found him guilty.

The case was adjourned for sentencing on June 25.
