Nel died shortly after a visit from Rheeder <\/a>during which he brought her refreshments to her hospital bed. Rheeder appeared for a formal bail application on June 17, where his lawyer, Lindelani Malala of Mvuzo Notyesi Attorneys, read an affidavit prepared by the accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“I deny the charges against me, and I intend to plead not guilty. I have no previous convictions and no pending cases. I suffer from prostate cancer, and I am undergoing chemotherapy. If I am kept in custody, I will lose my job and my two children will lose their financial support,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said he was not a flight risk; he did not own property outside SA and did not have investments outside the country. Opposing bail, state prosecutor Yolisa Mtuze, reading an affidavit from the investigating officer, said the accused had no relationship with his children and they would not be prejudiced if he was kept in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This offence is gender-based and it is violent. The accused informed his colleague that he would be arrested because evidence showed that he murdered his partner. He wrote on his Facebook account that he was considering leaving the country. The accused is a flight risk. He will attempt to influence witnesses as he has authority over them in his workplace as he is in a managerial position,” Mtuze said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/12567d705ec921f6a7c43ff020c3a5ec","name":"Mthatha Express","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/16bf7f093f8719629b4d16068cd9ee79b087e706ae5cedc7dd95db655da066a3?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/16bf7f093f8719629b4d16068cd9ee79b087e706ae5cedc7dd95db655da066a3?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/16bf7f093f8719629b4d16068cd9ee79b087e706ae5cedc7dd95db655da066a3?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Mthatha Express"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/mthathaexpress\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Mauritz-Andries.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":296271,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/pa-official-accused-of-armed-robbery-case-postponed-for-bail-application\/","url_meta":{"origin":264437,"position":0},"title":"PA official accused of armed robbery;
