EASTERN Cape royals yesterday condemned the killing of a Coffee Bay chieftainess earlier this week as “cowardice”, a disgrace to African custom and disrespect for human life.

The traditional leaders called on police to speed up their investigations and make an arrest soon to prevent the situation at Mthonnjana village from becoming even more volatile.

Nkosikazi Nowinase Ngubenani, ruler of AmaTshezi, was killed on Tuesday morning when a rondavel she was sleeping in with 14 women and children was torched before gunmen sprayed it with bullets. She is the fourth traditional leader killed in Transkei in less than 12 months.
