  "account": "Judgment in the bail applications of two suspects charged in the murder of former boxing champion Zolani Tete has been reserved until next week in Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court. Tete was killed while arriving at his home in Mdantsane two weeks ago. The two individuals involved are the alleged mastermind and the alleged middleman. Ayabonga Kampi, legal representative for one of the suspects, stated that while the offense is serious, it remains an allegation pending trial. He urged the court to balance the need for releasing the accused with the ongoing investigation. \"We call upon this court, your worship, to strike that balance for applicant number one that we would want. The release of the accused person, your worship, does not mean an end to this case. The accused person still is to prepare for his trial, and all will be ventilated in trial.\"",
