Case against murder accused ANC MP postponed for bail application
The case against an ANC MP accused of his wife’s murder has been postponed to Friday for a formal bail application.
Thirty-four-year-old Sibusiso Kula made his first appearance at the Orkney Magistrate’s Court in the North West on Monday.
He was arrested on Friday in connection with the murder of his 31-year-old wife Jennifer Kula.
Her body was found at her home in Kanana township last November.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) North West spokesperson Henry Mamothame says the state intends opposing bail, owing to the seriousness of the matter.
"Police reports reveal that Kula’s wife was found murdered on 27 November 2022, in what seemed like a robbery. She was found with a stab would on her back but the object that was used for her alleged murder has not been recovered.
“The matter was reported by the accused who indicated that he was not at the house when the incident occurred.”
Mamothame says police investigations are still underway and Kula will remain in police custody until the next court appearance.
