  "account": "The Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape has rejected a request to transfer the alleged mastermind behind the murder of boxing champion Zolani \"Last Born\" Tete to a public medical facility. The 22-year-old suspect, who uses a wheelchair, is charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident that occurred in July of the previous year. He sustained severe injuries when he was shot and paralyzed during the attack. The suspect's legal representative, Mike Maseti, argued that his human rights are being violated due to the inadequate conditions in prison. He claimed that the accused has not received proper medical assistance since his arrest, which has negatively impacted his dignity. Maseti specifically requested that the suspect be detained at Cecelia Makhiwane or Frere Hospital, as he requires constant monitoring by his mother for his medical needs and assistance with essential bodily functions.",
