The delays come as the court addresses complexities in the case and works to ensure a fair trial.
Sibusiso Zitha, the alleged killer of celebrity pastry chef Thembekile Letlape, appeared in the Randburg Magistrates Court in Johannesburg on Monday, August 19. Zitha, who is charged with the murder of his former girlfriend Thembekile, was denied bail during the brief court session. The case has been postponed to Wednesday, October 2, due to the absence of crucial witness statements.
In addition to the murder charge, Sibusiso Zitha faces multiple other charges, including two counts of malicious damage to property, two counts of domestic violence, lying under oath about pending cases, and failure to appear in court. These charges are being added to the murder case, further complicating the legal proceedings.
