Mduduzi Mnisi accused of killing 14-year-old Likhona Fose appears before the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg on 09 July 2025.
Mduduzi Mnisi, the man accused of killing 14-year-old Likhona Fose, is due back in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
He is charged with the premeditated murder of Fose, whose remains were discovered in an open veld in Durban Deep in June.
Mnisi was released on parole in December 2018 after he was convicted and sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment for attempted murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Mnisi was granted bail of R5000 but remains in custody after it emerged that he violated his parole condition.
During the bail application, the investigating officer, Moses Semosa, testified that an eyewitness had seen the accused going to his place with the deceased on the day before Fose was found murdered.
However, Mnisi denied killing the deceased and said he didn’t know the deceased.
In his defence, his girlfriend testified that they were together at her place in Daveyton, and even spent the night together.
But analysis of Mnisi’s cellphone records links his phone to a cellphone tower in Kagiso near Roodepoort around 8 pm on that day.
