Suspected murder: Mduduzi Nxele, former AmaZulu found dead in his house

Sad news has been reported from KwaZulu-Natal.

Mduduzi Nxele, a former AmaZulu footballer, was discovered dead in his house on Tuesday.

The North Coast Rising Sun said that Nxele, 41, was discovered hanged in a bedroom of his Westham residence.

His wrists and feet were shackled, which raises suspicions that he may have been murdered. On the site, there was no sign of suicide.

Phoenix police communications officer Louise Naidoo said to the publication:

“The deceased, 41-year-old Mduduzi Nxele was found hanged in his room. His nephew, Asanda Nxele stated that he last saw his uncle the previous day.

He also said that he noticed that the door of the deceased’s outbuilding was slightly opened and jammed with a mat. Upon opening the door by force, he found the man hanging from the ceiling.

“The nephew found his uncle’s hands tied to the front with a cord while his feet were tied with a shoelace.

There was no suicide note at the scene nor did it seem that there was any struggle involved. Investigators, however, did find different types of beer bottles at the scene.” 

Former Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu player Siyabonga Nomvethe said of the incident:

“Nxele was a good player, full of respect because we come from the same township – KwaMashu. This brutality of him being killed like this, it is painful because I don’t remember him as a person who was troublesome because he was a football player.”

“I spoke to him about bringing his young boy to AmaZulu to try his luck for trials during the off-season because we don’t have space for trials when the season of the DDC is on.”
