Thando Mgenge - who turned himself into the police - is accused of stabbing Khoza to death last month. 


Khoza's loved ones believe he was the victim of a homophobic hate crime. Hlengiwe Buthelezi - an LGBTQI activist - was in court yesterday. 


"It's taken a good direction. But the main goal us to achieve is for the perpetrator to walk with a life sentence if possible."

"The accused appeared in court for judgement on his bail application, it was refused. The matter was postponed to the 31st of May for further investigation."
