Muzikayise Malephane, 31, made his first appearance at the Roodepoort magistrate's court on charges relating to the brutal murder of Tshegofatso Pule. The family of Pule hopes the arrest of a suspect will give them much-needed answers on her last moments alive.The family of heavily pregnant Tshegofatso Pule, who was found murdered and hung from a tree in Durban Deep earlier this month, is bracing itself to hear of the horrific manner in which she and her unborn baby girl were killed.
Her uncle Tumisang Katake spoke to the media outside the Roodepoort magistrate’s court on Wednesday, shortly after her alleged killer Muzikayise Malephane made his first court appearance. He said although the family is in pain, they are ready to hear how she died. “We are preparing ourselves for a difficult journey ahead of having to relive the last moments of Tshegofatso - her last moments on earth. But it’s a journey we as the family are prepared to travel, especially if we want to get and seek justice for Tshegofatso Pule,” he said.
Malephane, 31, made a brief appearance, where the court heard that he was choosing not to apply for bail. His case was postponed until June 24.

Tshegofatso Pule: 'It was horrible,' says former morgue worker who saw body“It was a horrible scene, what we found there I’ve never seen in my life. Even in movies I’ve never seen a pregnant lady murdered or hanging from a tree.” This is sad, very sad! 😥💔 That beast who did that really has serious issues with himself. Even if there was an arguement between him & that lady, he had no right to kill her. People belong to God - not men/males. Man/males has no right to kill women just because they don't see eye to eye with a woman.
