The woman accused of the murder of 10-year-old Siphumelele Mzimba in Pinetown, Durban, will remain behind bars after she decided that she would not apply for bail, says a News24 report. Zandile Nsele appeared in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court yesterday when Magistrate Gwendolyn Robinson informed her that she would face one count of murder in addition to kidnapping and extortion charges that were already levelled against her. ‘The state alleges you are guilty of murder on 4 July 2019 in Nazareth. You are accused of unlawfully and intentionally killing Siphumelele Mzimba by strangling her to death with a cable tie on her neck.’ She abandoned her bail application. The young girl disappeared on 13 June on her way to the hairdresser. Her badly decomposed body was found near Nsele's home last week. They were neighbours. The matter was postponed to 20 August.
