Prosecutors are expected to update the court on outstanding cellphone evidence when Matipandile Sotheni, an alleged hitman in the Madlanga witness murder case, returns to the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
The matter is part of a broader case involving the alleged killing of a witness linked to Madlanga, with the State indicating that additional evidence is tied to cellphone data. One report specifically notes that the update concerns evidence that is still outstanding, suggesting further steps are needed before the case proceeds on that aspect.
Across the available coverage, the consistent focus is on the court appearance and the State’s planned briefing regarding cellphone information. The reporting provided here does not include details on the content of the cellphone evidence, the dates or locations associated with it, or any defence response, so those elements are not confirmed across sources.
