POLOKWANE – The murder accused, Fortune Mahlatse Sebone (19), will next appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in 2023.

Her body was found by her husband, Obie and son, Armand after they returned from a hunting trip.

Sebone decided to represent himself in court and applied for bail as he says the state has no evidence against him for the murder of Lindie Oberholzer.

Before deciding to represent himself, Sebone’s legal representative said he was not forthcoming with information and that she was struggling to get his grandmother to sign an affidavit to use her address to prove his address in order to secure bail.

The case was postponed to January 30 for the completion of the police investigation and Sebone will remain in custody until then.
