Mongezi Chauke, 29, who is in the same prayer group with the mother of the slain child, briefly appeared in the Mamelodi magistrate’s court, east of Pretoria, on Monday, where his case was postponed to February 22 after he chose to abandon his bail application.

Kgothatso Tshabalala’s lifeless body was found with multiple stab wounds and her throat slashed last Tuesday.
