Magaqa suspect halts bail plan

THE man accused of murdering former ANC Youth League secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa has abandoned his bail application.

The man, who cannot be named in order to maintain the integrity of further investigations, appeared under heavy police guard at the Umzimkhulu Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Magaqa – a PR councillor at Umzimkhulu Local Municipality at the time of his death – was gunned down in July last year, and later died in September.

Magistrate Khulile Mdladlamba adjourned the matter to October 25 for a provisional indictment to be drawn up and the suspect was remanded in custody. | African News Agency (ANA)
