The bail application of the man linked to the murder of Ekurhuleni Chief Forensic Auditor Mpho Mafole has been postponed to the 15th of next month by the Kempton Park Magistrates Court for further investigation.

Mafole was gunned down at the end of last month while driving on the R23 in Kempton Park.

He had been investigating a R2 billion electricity scandal at the municipality.

Mafole had just submitted a detailed report and charge sheet identifying those allegedly involved. The NPA’s Phindi Mjonondwane says the accused, Thabani Ntshalintshali was out on bail when he was arrested for Mafole’s murder.

“The accused was arrested and later applied for bail. He’s currently out on bail of R5 000 bail was granted; hence, as the state, we will be opposing his release on bail on this matter of Mafole,” says Mjonondwane.
