According to the provincial Hawks’ spokesperson, Captain Dineo Sekgotodi, Zola Martin Mnisi made his first appearance in the KaBokweni Magistrate’s Court on the same day he handed himself in. He was remanded in custody for the murder of a Fidelity Security officer during a CIT heist in KaBokweni.

“The case was postponed to Thursday October 12, at the same court. Mnisi will still appear in court for the Malalane case and one in White River. The appearance followed after Mnisi was circulated on social media platforms as a wanted suspect by the Hawks,” Sekgotodi said.
