Accused in high-ranking Ekurhuleni metro official’s murder case remains behind bars
A man charged with the murder of a top Ekurhuleni employee is also facing a separate murder trial.
The man accused of murdering Mpho Mafole, the City of Ekurhuleni’s group divisional head for corporate and forensic audits, has made his first court appearance.
Kempton Express reports that Thabani Goodwill Ntshalintshali appeared in the Kempton Park Regional Court yesterday, in connection with Mafole’s murder.
Mafole was gunned down in Kempton Park on June 30.
During proceedings, it emerged that Ntshalintshali has another pending murder case.
The bail hearing in that separate matter has been concluded, and the trial is set to commence on August 12 and continue on August 19.
For the murder charge related to Mafole, bail is being opposed as Ntshalintshali is viewed as a potential threat.
Due to the pending murder case against him, he will remain in custody.
Ntshalintshali is scheduled to appear in court again on August 15 for further investigation in the Mafole case.
The August 15 appearance will not be for a bail application.
