REPRESENTATION FOR WITHDRAWAL
THE case between the State and 22-year-old Bafana Mahungela, who is accused of the murder and rape of his former teacher Kirsten Kluyts, has been postponed once again.
This time, the matter has been moved to June 12 to allow the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) to consider Mahungela's representation for a withdrawal of charges.
"This matter has been postponed to June 12 for the Director of Public Prosecutions to respond to your representations and you, Mr Mahungela are to remain in custody. If your legal counsel wants to apply for bail, he knows the procedure for that process and they (legal counsel) will do what needs to be done for that to happen," Judge Rean Strydom said.
The former student, who appeared in positive spirits and chatted with his father before the resumption of the trail at the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, is charged with kidnapping, robbery with aggravating circumstances, murder and attempting to rape the Delta Park High School teacher.
