A man accused of killing a Marikana sangoma appeared in the Bizana Magistrate's Court in the Eastern Cape yesterday.
The case against 28 year-old Lindelani Mkhize was postponed until the 27th of June for further investigation.
Mkhize was arrested in his hometown of KwaMaphumulo, KwaZulu-Natal, last month.
He is accused of killing 69-year-old sangoma Alton Joja at his home in Ludeke Holt village, in Mbizana, on the 24th of March.
Joja was to have testified before the Farlam Commission of Inquiry about his role, and that of his sons, in rituals performed on striking miners on a hill near Lonmin's platinum mine in Marikana in August
The rituals were apparently supposed to make the miners believe they were invisible and invincible in the face of gunfire.
