Unfortunately, 2021 has been a tragic year for the actress as she lost both her mother and grandmother on the same day.
The devastating incident occurred when they were murdered at their home in Limpopo. The loss of two important figures in her life undoubtedly left Manku heartbroken.
However, there seems to be a ray of hope amidst the darkness. In January of this year, Amanda Manku confirmed that there had been a breakthrough in the murder case of her mother and grandmother.
The alleged assassins were arrested in January 2024 and they include Amanda’s father, William Manku.
Last week, the 53-year-old police captain as well as his girlfriend, Nonhlanhla Ngubo (42) and David Khoza (40) appeared at the Magatle Magistrates Court in Zebediela, Limpopo, on Monday for their bail applications.
During proceedings, the court heard that Manku allegedly confessed to ordering a hit on his mother-in-law, Maphuthuma.
According to the investigation officer in the case, Manku confessed that he found people to kill Maphuthuma and drove with them to show them where she lived.
“He then pointed to his mother-in-law’s house, and they returned to Gauteng. The hitmen came back on their own as he had given them instructions to kill his mother-in-law,” the investigator said.
While justice may take time, the progress in the case brings some comfort to Manku and her family. Dealing with such a tragedy is never easy, but their strength and resilience shine through during these challenging times.
As Amanda Manku continues to navigate through her grief, her fans and followers offer their support and condolences. The power of social media allows her to share her feelings and connect with others who have experienced similar losses.
