CRIMINAL CASE OPENED AGAINST ICEBOLETHU FUNERALS AND LATE DR THAMSANQA NKONYANE’S GIRLFRIEND
A criminal case has been opened against Icebolethu Funerals and the girlfriend of the late church leader, Dr Thamsanqa Nkonyane.
The Christian Catholic Apostolic Holy Spirit Church in Zion (Inyoni Emhlophe) has confirmed that the Nkonyane family is standing by the deceased's legal wife, Dolly Nkonyane, noting that the couple never divorced.
The family successfully obtained a court order to halt the funeral.
This came after the deceased's cohabiting partner, Priscilla Sizeni Mazibuko (MaKhuzwayo), planned the burial without involving either the family or his wife.
After securing the interdict, the family moved to stop the funeral just as it was about to proceed. Icebolethu staff were requested to open the coffin, leading to the shocking discovery that the body was missing and the casket contained only building bricks.
While Icebolethu has not yet issued an official statement, comments have begun to emerge.
According to a video circulating online, the Chairperson of the board allegedly admitted they knew bricks had been placed inside the coffin but refused to explain why.
The Christian Catholic Apostolic Holy Spirit Church in Zion, Inyoni Emhlophe, issued a formal statement detailing the events surrounding the funeral of the late leader.
"The Christian Catholic Apostolic Holy Spirit Church in Zion, Inyoni Emhlophe, had previously announced with deep sorrow the passing of the 4th President of the Church, President TE Nkonyane, on 24 May 2026.
The church confirmed that the funeral was scheduled to take place on 6 June 2026 at the Osizweni Church Headquarters.
"The cortege was set to depart for the cemetery at 13:00. However, during the conclusion of the funeral program, the South African Police Service (SAPS) entered the venue with a court order from the Pietermaritzburg High Court interdicting the burial.
The application for the interdict was brought earlier that morning by Dolly Nkonyane (MaNgcobo), the wife of the late President Nkonyane, to whom he had been married in community of property since 1988 and from whom he was never divorced.
"The court ruled in her favour, and the order was executed by the police in conjunction with the Nkonyane family. Priscilla Sizeni Mazibuko (MaKhuzwayo), who had been residing with the late President in eThekwini where he passed away, had proceeded with funeral arrangements without the involvement of the Nkonyane family or Dolly Nkonyane. When the cortege returned to the mortuary with the Nkonyane family, as directed by the court order, the family requested that the service provider, Icebolethu Funerals, open the coffin," the statement reads.
The statement further revealed that it was then discovered, in the presence of the police escorting the coffin, that it did not contain the body of the late President, but only building bricks.
"The Nkonyane family has since opened a criminal case in Osizweni, Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), against Priscilla Sizeni Mazibuko and Icebolethu Funerals. The Christian Catholic Apostolic Holy Spirit Church in Zion, Inyoni Emhlophe, is saddened by this unfortunate and inhumane turn of events. The church stands firmly with the Nkonyane family and supports their pursuit of justice in this matter," the statement concludes.
Attempts to get a comment from Dr Nomfundo Mcoyi-Zondo proved fruitless as her phone rang unanswered.
The engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work
I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes
CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns
all in one video and completely free works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months.

This incompetent government grants bail to foreigners who are illegal in the country and has no data to show how many foreigners who are granted bail but never reappear in court.
We will keep exposing their incompetence!!
In Bellville, a woman listed a couch on Facebook Marketplace for R4,500. A buyer contacted her and sounded normal, sent proof of payment, and said the money was “held” until she verified her bank account.
By 21:14, R42,870 was gone from her bank accounts. The bank said it was authenticated and they could not help her.
