Zolani Tete murder accused return to court
Tete was gunned down outside his home in Mdantsane two weeks ago.
Two men accused of murdering former boxing world champion Zolani Tete are set to return to the Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape. The bail application for the accused is expected to resume, with the investigating officer Nkululeko Mtati likely to face cross-examination by the defense team. Prosecutors are opposing the bail request, citing the severity of the crime and claiming the defendants pose a flight risk.
Tete was fatally shot outside his home in Mdantsane two weeks ago. The 22-year-old suspect claims Tete threatened him with a firearm after discovering the boxer was in a romantic relationship with his estranged wife, as revealed in the suspect's affidavit read in court.
