Matipandile Sotheni, accused of killing Witness D Mauris Van Der Merwe, returns to the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court on Friday for his bail hearing after a delay over interpretation issues.
The bail application of Matipandile Sotheni, accused of killing Mauris Van Der Merwe, known as “Witness D,” resumes in the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Sotheni appeared in court on Thursday for the continuation of his bail application.
However, proceedings were postponed to Friday after he told the court he speaks Xhosa and struggled to understand the Zulu interpreter assigned to the matter.
The former South African Police Service Special Task Force member denied killing Van Der Merwe and asked the court to release him on bail because of his family responsibilities.
