Murder accused Ziphozethu Shange – the man found on his PlayStation while his 25-year-old girlfriend Ntwentle Sanelisiwe Sibiya lay dead near the couch, was a no-show at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
The murder accused had been scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Tuesday, but his lawyer requested a postponement of the bail hearing.
Shange has been in custody since 11 February when he was arrested at his Riversands apartment.
Shange will now appear in court on Friday, 25 February 2022.
None of the distraught family of the deceased were able to attend the court matter. They were in Pietermaritzburg for Ntwentle’s funeral.
Police Investigation Officer Dee Nkosi confirmed that the matter did not come before the court and would instead be heard on Friday.
