Woman in court for murder of Orange Farm boy (5)
A woman believed to be behind the gruesome murder of a 5-year-old boy in Orange Farm will remain behind bars, for the time being.
Pontsho Mohlankana made a brief appearance in the Vereeniging Regional Court on Monday on a charge of murder.
The man previously believed to be her accomplice has not been charged due to a lack of evidence.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Gauteng Phindi Mjonondwane says Mohlanka will be back in court on Wednesday for a formal bail application.

“The matter was postponed to the 22 April to set a bail application date and a further investigation. The accused will remain in custody.”
The lifeless body of the 5-year-old-boy was discovered between a fridge and a counter at a tavern on Friday.
