Four men accused in the killing of boxing champion Zolani Tete appear in the Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court, where the state says the murder was planned. According to the prosecution, a person described as a “mastermind” hired a middleman to recruit hitmen for the killing.
The state argues that the accused acted in concert and will oppose bail, describing the case as involving premeditation and recruitment. The proceedings focus on the allegations against the four men and the prosecution’s position regarding their release pending trial.
