The murder case of a former ANC Member of Parliament charged with the murder of his wife will continue in the North West Regional Court in November.
The National Prosecuting Authority says 34-year-old Sibusiso Kula, appeared in the Orkney Magistrate's Court on Friday, where the matter was transferred to the higher court.
Kula is currently out on R50 000 with strict conditions which include having to surrender his passport, reporting twice a day to the nearest police, and not interfering with any witnesses.

NPA spokesperson, Henry Mamothame, said Kula's previous bid to have the case struck off the roll was rejected by the court.
Police reports reveal that Kula’s wife, Jennifer Mohlomi, was found murdered on 27 November 2022, in what seemed like a robbery.
"She was found with a stab wound on her back but the object that was used for her alleged murder has not been recovered. The matter was reported by the medical facility where she was allegedly transported by the accused to receive medical attention," Mamothame said.
He said Kula told the police that he was not present at his home when the incident occurred but he said a thorough investigation by the police linked him to the alleged murder, and he was arrested on 20 January.
