Wheelchair-bound and wearing ‘Capone’: Zolani Tete murder accused in court
The man accused of killing boxing champion Zolani Tete arrived in court on Monday in a wheelchair, his white T-shirt emblazoned with 'Capone', an apparent reference to notorious American gangster Al Capone.
The case against a 22-year-old accused of murdering two-time world boxing champion Zolani "Last Born" Tete has been postponed in the Mdantsane Magistrate's Court in the Eastern Cape to 25 August 2026. Tete, 38, was shot dead outside his home in Mdantsane on Friday. The matter was delayed to accommodate the arrival of two additional suspects who were arrested on Sunday.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Eastern Cape confirms that a total of four suspects are now in custody in connection with Tete's murder, which occurred at NU 17, Mdantsane, on August 21. Boxing promoter Luyanda Kana expresses his disappointment over Tete's untimely death and is relieved that the culprits are now facing court.
