Hillary Gardee murder accused Sipho Mkhatshwa is expected to continue with his bail application on Thursday at the Nelspruit magistrate’s court.

As Hillary Gardee murder-accused Sipho Mkhatshwa testified in his bail hearing his fiancée, Zandile Magagula, expressed her anger over an SMS allegedly sent by a sangoma to police that is believed to have led to his arrest.
