Due to ongoing investigations and the identity parade which is yet to be done, the media was barred from publishing the names and photographs of the suspects. Residents from the Nomzamo settlement in Soweto filled the court to capacity on Monday morning. Some residents stood in the court corridor watching proceedings through windows.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said there is a prima facie case against all the accused who appeared in court.
