Two cousins were arrested after the 19-year-old’s body was found in a communal toilet in March.

Supporters have again gathered at the case against two men accused of the rape and murder of Sinoxolo Mafevuka in Khayelitsha.

The bail hearing continues in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court today. The two cousins were arrested after the 19-year-old’s body was found in a communal toilet in March.

A small group of supporters is outside the courtroom. They’ve been following court proceedings since the two men first appeared in March. Some are holding placards with the message:

“Stop the Violence against women”. At the last court appearance on Monday, defence lawyer Thabo Nogemane told journalist the bail hearing has been dragging on for longer than he had anticipated.

Nogemane is expected to continue the cross-examination of Investigating Officer Batiki Tshabalala today.
