Zinhle Maditla will be appearing in court again early next week.
Magistrate Daleen Venter is weighing up all the options before a decision will be made and Maditla will only then know if her bail application was successful or not.
Maditla applied for bail on May 9.
The 24-year-old mother is being held at Middelburg Correctional Services.
A heartbreaking story unfolded when Minenhle (8), Blessing (6), Shanique (4) and Ettiene (11 months) was found wrapped in blankets after Maditla told her family she has a gift for them.
When family members broke down the door of the one bedroom apartment in Klarinet, they made the gruesome discovery.
Maditla’s landlord, Ms Mathilda Mahlangu said they last saw the children at their home on December 26.
Mahlangu got suspicious when they saw a lot of flies in the window of the room Maditla was renting.
She said she suspects that Maditla slept next to her children’s bodies up to the day she handed herself over to police.
Throughout the court cases this past five months Maditla’s family stood firm behind her.
Mr Kevin Balance, grandfather of the four children, said that the family will not abandon Maditla.
“Zinhle understand what she had done. She realises this is the biggest mistake of her life. She has not told us why she did what she did.”
It is believed that Maditla poisoned the children.
Police spokesperson, Capt Eddie Hall said due to the decomposition state of the bodies a post-mortem could not be conducted.
However, DNA was taken from the bodies and sent to the toxicology laboratory.
Police are still waiting for the result to come back.
