State to oppose bail for couple in rape and murder case of girl, 7
Cape Times
|August 04, 2025
THE case against a Khayelitsha couple accused of the rape and murder of 7-year-old Lolitha Kowa was postponed to this week for verification of a new residential address after their Kuyasa home was set alight.
Odwa Jack and his girlfriend, Nokuthula Matyesini, appeared in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court on Friday morning, where the State confirmed its intention to oppose bail.
The pair was arrested on July 23, hours after Lolitha’s body was discovered about 1.5km from her home.
The child had gone missing the previous day after telling her famil she was going to play with Matyesini’s daughter.
Her body was later found dumped in another section of Kuyasa.
A screwdriver was lodged in her head and a sock had been stuffed down her throat.
The prosecutor told the court that both accused face a Schedule 6 charge, the most serious category of offences under South African law, which includes premeditated murder and requires exceptional circumstances for bail to be granted.
