Chaos erupted outside the Alexandra Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg today following the appearance of Cindy Manqele, who's accused of killing musician Nkululeko "Flabba" Habedi.
Manqele was thought to be Habedi's girlfriend.
Local residents clashed with a group of women and a man, understood to be Manqele's relatives.
The two groups traded insults, and the residents insisted Manqele should not be granted bail.
The 38-year-old musician was stabbed in the heart in his Alexandra home in the early hours of Monday morning.
Residents responded with outrage and banged on the family's car.
Manqele appeared in court dressed in a hoodie, black T-shirt, and leggings. Through her lawyer, the petite young woman said she had sustained bruises and stab wounds to her arms and stomach.
On the instruction of her lawyer, she removed the hoodie to show the court her injuries. She complained of pain.
The case was postponed to March 16 for a bail application.
