Family, friends, and supporters of Kwakhanya left the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court yesterday frustrated. This follows the accused’s decision to abandon their bail application.

Kwakhanya, a gay teenager, was brutally murdered on December 7, 2025.

The case, which had already been postponed three times, returned to court yesterday after earlier postponements due to a missing docket and a change in the investigating officer.

Kwakhanya’s father, Sicelo Maki, said he was deeply disappointed by the latest development.
