Andile Mbuthu's family frustrated by another court delay

The six men are accused of kidnapping and killing Mbuthu.

A seventh suspect who's a minor has abandoned his bid for bail.
"This matter has been prolonging for such a long period of time, however, the matter is this in the process of a bail but there is nothing we can do because of this COVID-19 issue," says Mbuthu's uncle, Ntobeko Ngidi.
"It is very disturbing and it is very interruptive. We will wait for another date as the matter has since been postponed. As family, we need to be patient on the other hand, even though it hurts."
