Attempted murder case South Africa – MDNtv

BUSINESSMAN AND MUSICIAN MAN B’S BAIL APPLICATION POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY

MDN tv — Tue, 26 May 2026 17:32:08 +0000

The bail hearing of prominent KuGompo City (East London) businessman and musician Mlindelwa Tyekana, popularly known as Man B, has been postponed until Wednesday.

Man B and his two co-accused are facing charges of attempted murder involving a 16-year-old boy who is currently in the ICU.

They are also charged with kidnapping and assault. Man B’s co-accused are Siyasanga Mashologu and Dalixolo Willie. The bail proceedings on Monday, May 25, faced multiple structural delays.

The venue shifted across three different courtrooms before finally sitting in the High Court.

The defense team began cross-examining the state’s witness, investigating officer Sgt Bulelani Mgubo, before the court adjourned.

Tyekana’s defense has disputed the validity of the identity parade, arguing it only placed the men at the scene rather than individualising who fired the shots.

Tyekana filed an affidavit stating he is a prominent employer with over 700 employees across his construction, security, and record label companies who depend on him financially. Meanwhile, the state and local community members are strongly opposing bail.

A petition has been signed citing concerns that the accused know where the victims live and pose a risk of witness intimidation.

The bail application will continue tomorrow.

🚨 ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE IN COURT | BELLARMINE MUGABE & TOBIAS MATONHODZE BAIL HEARING POSTPONED

MDNtv — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:54:10 +0000

A dramatic development unfolded at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court as Bellarmine Mugabe and his co-accused Tobias Matonhodze appeared in court to apply for bail in their attempted murder case.

However, the hearing could not proceed after an unexpected electricity outage forced the court to postpone the proceedings. The matter has now been rescheduled for 11 March, leaving many waiting for the next update in this developing case.

The accused are facing several serious charges, including:
• Attempted murder
• Illegal possession of a firearm
• Violations of South Africa immigration laws

This high-profile case has attracted attention as authorities continue investigations and legal proceedings move forward. The postponement means the court will revisit the bail application next week, where further details may emerge.

BELLARMINE MUGABE’S LAWYER SPEAKS AFTER ALEXANDRA COURT CASE POSTPONED

MDNtv — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:58:29 +0000

The lawyer for Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe has spoken to the media following a brief court appearance at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court.

Mugabe and his co-accused, Tobias Mugabe Matonhodze, appeared in court on charges of attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, and unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges relate to a shooting incident at a Hyde Park residence last week, where a 23-year-old gardener was critically injured.

According to the defence, they cannot comment in detail on the allegations as police investigations are still ongoing and the full docket has not yet been provided. The lawyer confirmed that additional charges have now been added to the original attempted murder count.

The bail application was not heard today. Authorities are still completing verification processes with the Department of Home Affairs and other agencies. The defence team also indicated that further consultation with their clients is needed before the next legal steps are taken.

The matter has been postponed to 3 March 2026, when both accused are expected to return to court for a formal bail hearing.
