Suspect in murder of Amanzimtoti pastor makes first court appearance
A man arrested in connection with the murder of an Amanzimtoti pastor arrived at court on Monday morning.
The 45-year-old was arrested in Bloemfontein on Friday.
It's two years after the body of Liezel de Jager was found at her South Coast home.
She was a Pastor at the NG Kerk Suidkus.

The suspect, who cannot be named until he fully appears in court, was led down to the holding cells by the police in handcuffs at the Amanzimtoti Branch Court.
A few congregants of the church where De Jager was a pastor attended court proceedings.
She was strangled to death at her home in 2021.
The SAPS Cold Case Unit took over the case this month and affected an arrest two weeks later.
