Sheryl Cwele is not a happy bunny today, she and her guilty-as-charged co-accused, Frank Nabolisa, have had their prison sentences increased to 20 years by the Supreme Court of Appeal. The pair were found guilty in May 2011 of drug dealing by the Pietermaritzburg High Court and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment each.
Wife of the State Security Minister and convicted drug smuggler, Sheryl Cwele, will once again be enjoying her full salary, even though she’s a serious criminal.
This story could only happen in Africa, or maybe Russia. And as insane as this sounds, it’s all true: Sheryl Cwele, wife of State Security Minister, Siyabonga Cwele, who was convicted last week of international drug trafficking, will keep her job as director of health and community services at the Hibuscus Coast Municipality.
