Summary
A 38-year-old man from Mamelodi East faces life-altering charges after allegedly gunning down his 22-year-old girlfriend and her 21-year-old cousin in a tavern shooting on October 26, 2025 — with a third man surviving the attack. Despite his defense’s plea for release citing his role as sole provider for three kids and his mother, the court denied bail, citing serious risks: witness tampering, potential flight to Limpopo, public unrest following his house’s arson, and his alleged self-harm attempt. The magistrate ruled his release would undermine public trust in justice — no bail granted. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
