Bail had been granted in an unrelated case in which he stands accused of raping a 15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relebogile\u2019s body was found on 31 March after she had been missing for 24 hours. Her body had been dumped in the veld behind the Northern Cape Legislature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Zamani Saul, premier, visited the bereaved family, and a special memorial service was held in her honour on 5 April. She was buried on 8 April, after a funeral service held in the Mayibuye Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Machabe said he wanted to apply for bail, but he decided differently a week later. His legal representative, Chwaro Kgotlalomong, said his client had abandoned the application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tabitha Rhadebe, prosecutor, said to Magistrate Leon Blaauw the state intended to combine the cases of Relebogile\u2019s murder and rape and the rape of the teenage girl during Machabe\u2019s next appearance on Monday (25\/04). He remains in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside the court, community members and members of the EFF and ANC demanded that the bail application be refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathapelo Siwisa, EFF-MP, who works on the party\u2019s gender violence committee, hails from the same ward of Kimberley as Relebogile. She flew from Cape Town for the court pro\u00adceedings and to support the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we have justice in the present case, we will have justice for the other victims too. Their mothers will find peace, as well as all mothers out there whose children are at risk of this monster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Also read the story \u201cFamily

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)
