Njabulo Ngubane (24) is accused of shooting and killing Khwezi Hudson in a botched robbery at the restaurant in Vilakazi Street in Soweto last month.


Ngubane has asked for legal assistance.


The case has been postponed to 22 February for a formal bail application.


The State has indicated it will oppose bail.


Ngubane was arrested along with another person yesterday morning.


However, in a statement police confirm the second suspect Mduduzi Ngcobo - who was arrested in KwaZulu-Natal - is not linked to the murder. 


He was allegedly involved in a robbery which occurred in November.
