A 38-year-old man appeared in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on Monday for the murder of Loyiso Mabandla Nkohla.
Nkohla was shot and killed at the Phillipi Railway Station
in April this year.
Police suspect that he was killed for his role in talks to
clear Metrorail’s central line in the city where people have built shacks.
Zukisa Tshabile was arrested on Friday and is charged with
murder and three counts of murder.
The State further alleged that the mastermind had been
employed as a manager in a cleaning company owned by Nkohla and his wife,
Nyameka.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)'s Eric Ntabazalila
added that Tshabile also faces other charges related to Nkohla's murder.
"I can confirm that Zukisa Tshabile, 38, appeared in
the Athlone Magistrates Court today [Monday] charged with the murder of Loyiso
Nkohla. He also faces about 17 charges of attempted murder."
The case was postponed to November 6 and Tshabile remains
in custody.
