The Pretoria high court has assured the family of the late Ipid investigator Mandla Mahlangu, who was shot dead in a suspected hit disguised as an armed robbery in 2020, that the trial will start on May 30.

The accused, Khumbulani Sithole, appeared briefly in court and the case was postponed as his lawyer wanted to consult further with him.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said the postponement was also to allow the finalisation of another matter the defence is attending at the Johannesburg high court.According to the police, a group of men arrived at a plot where Mahlangu was at about 3.30am. They held Mahlangu and a worker at gunpoint.

Trio accused of killing six-year-old Mpumalanga girl abandon bail applicationThree people accused of murdering six-year-old Bontle Mashiyane abandoned their bail application on Monday and will be back in court next month. This bail nonsense is the one that's making our Justice system week, why are they even allowed to ask for bail? How many people are re-offending while on bail, parole. Instead of throwing away the key judges are busy wasting time on bail hearing 😢😢😢 This is so shameful that a woman involved in her sister's kids mutilating & killings... I am so thocked. It honestly heart breaking what's happening in ous country... We surely need to repent to God NOW How can they even consider to give them bail after what they have done.
