Ruling on bail for accused in Zolani Tete murder case expected

Zolani “Last Born” Tete was gunned down three weeks ago outside his home in Mdantsane

A ruling on bail for the two men accused of murdering former boxing champion Zolani Tete is anticipated, according to reports from a Magistrates' Court in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape. The accused consist of a 22-year-old mastermind and an alleged middleman, with their bail hearing postponed pending the consideration of new ballistic evidence.

The defendant's legal counsel contended that the fresh evidence fails to establish a strong connection between the client and the crime scene, thereby questioning the need for his continued detention. Zolani Tete was killed outside his home in Mdantsane three weeks ago.
