The case against a suspect arrested in connection with the murder of two young women in Mamelodi East, Pretoria, has been postponed to January 19, 2026, at the Mamelodi Magistrate’s Court.
The women who are aged 21 and 22, respectively and are said to be cousins, were fatally shot and their bodies found lying next to the road in Mamelodi East Extension 17 on Sunday.
A third victim is receiving treatment in the local healthcare facility.
Thirty-eight-year-old Tebogo Mnisi made his first appearance in the dock, looking visibly shaken.
Throughout the proceedings, he kept his head down whilst only looking up to acknowledge the Magistrate, his legal aid representative, as well as the court interpreter.
He is facing five charges, including two counts of premeditated murder, attempted murder, as well as possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition.
He will remain behind bars until his next appearance, as he has abandoned his bail application.
