The court case against an East London woman accused of shooting dead her husband last year has yet again been postponed in the East London Magistrate's Court.
Bulelwa Ndudula was supposed to have been granted a date to appear in the East London High Court today but the court heard the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions in Grahamstown was still studying her docket.
As a result her case was again postponed to May 8 for a High Court date.
The 43-year-old primary school teacher stands accused of shooting her husband Sakhekile Ndudula seven times in their Cambridge home in September last year.
Police suggested at her bail hearing that jealousy had been the motive.
The court also heard there had been contradictory statements given by Ndudula on the morning of the murder. Primary gun residue was found on her right hand and evidence such as clothing and the crime scene had been manipulated.
The court also heard buttons from her husband’s shirt had been found in the main bedroom, indicating a struggle had taken place.
Sakhekile was the chief of staff in the office of social development MEC Nancy Sihlwayi. Police have not yet recovered the murder weapon.
