New evidence provided by the family of former soldier Lwanda Mxolisi Zungu’s wife, who he is charged with killing her in January, has resulted in the magistrate needing more time to make a decision in his bail application.

Tania’s mother, Gwen Msane, said she was not surprised the matter was adjourned, as she expected that the new evidence they presented to the prosecutor would need to be evaluated.

She said the ‘shocking’ information must have caught the defence by surprise.
