Sandile Mantsoe was arrested last month after Mokoena's burnt body was found in a veld in April. 

 

The discovery of Mokoena's body sparked widespread outrage and brought gender based violence into sharp focus.

 

Mantsoe has been charged with premeditated murder and defeating the ends of justice.


The magistrate refused the media permission to broadcast or publish the bail proceedings. 

 

According to the National Prosecuting Authority, this was to prevent revealing sensitive information.

 

The media has however been granted permission to film judgement in the bail application.
