Xolile Mngeni has been declared fit to stand trial for the murder of British honeymooner Anni Dewani in Cape Town last year.

Mngeni recently underwent surgery for a malignant brain tumour and has also been receiving extensive chemotherapy for the past month.

The case against Mngeni and his three co-accused, including Dewani’s husband, Shrien, has been transferred to the Western Cape High Court. A pre-trial conference is expected to be held in February next year.
