Mark Zinde back in court
Mark Warona Zinde is expected to appear in the Brits Magistrate's Court for allegedly murdering his mother, TV and radio personality Hope Zinde.
Zinde, 23, is accused of murdering his mother Hope Zinde, 50, former South African Broadcasting Corporation board member, journalist and television news anchor at their home in Pecanwood Estate, situated on the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam near Brits in June.
His case was postponed for further investigation.
On September 20, Zinde was granted R10,000 after the magistrate found that there was no evidence that he would endanger the safety of the public or any other person if granted bail.

Magistrate Moses Moswanganyi ordered Zinde to report to the De Deur Police station every day and to hand over his passport to the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Audrey Motsepe.
Zinde would only be exempted from reporting at the police station when he is admitted to a medical institution.
In his bail application, his lawyer Fracois Joubert said he need to be granted bail so that he could enlist the service of an independent psychiatrist to prepare for his trail.
The defence is disputing a psychiatric report from Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital which had been found that he was fit to stand trial.
The psychiatric report from Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria read in court on September 12, declared that he was fit to stand trial and he was capable of understanding court proceedings. The report further stated that he did not suffer any mental disorder when he allegedly killed his mother.
Zinde would stay with his father Doctor Lebohang Manoto in the Vaal for the duration of his trial.
