Phoenix e-hailing driver was allegedly lured to his death by 15-year-old boy

BLINDFOLDED and taken into bushes where he was assaulted, stabbed and strangled are believed to have been the final moments of life that Phoenix e-hailing driver Mohammed Muzaffar “Muzi” Saib endured.

The 24-year-old Whetstone resident was allegedly killed in January this year after a 15-year-old teenager requested a ride, with the State alleging that the trip formed part of a plan to rob him of his vehicle and valuables.

Four male accused, including the teenager, who were arrested and charged with kidnapping, murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances, made their first appearance in the Durban High Court last Thursday.

Sibusiso Wanda Dlamini, 36, of KwaMashu; the 15-year-old from Phoenix; Wesley Govender, 33, and Zane Junior Subramanian, 18, both of Bhambayi, are accused of being involved in the killing.
