Sibongiseni Brian Mpanza ( Brazo) has been granted R 3000 bail by the Dundee Magistrate’s Court. Brazo was arrested and charged for the murder of Mozambican national, Filipe Pateguana, on July 29.
The victim was allegedly shot in his home in Lindelani and his house keys were said to be found in Brazo’s possession.
Brazo now faces his fourth conviction after he was previously convicted of drug dealing in 2004 that earned him 18 months of imprisonment. He also was previously convicted of driving without a license twice in 2013.
The state did not oppose bail on the grounds that the witnesses are unknown to him and he is not at flight risk. He told the court he is not in possession of a passport. He is set to appear in court on September 5 for trial.
