The 14-year-old Limpopo teen who was caught on video, allegedly assaulting Lufuno Mavhunga, who later suicide by suicide, will remain in custody at a state youth centre after her bail application was postponed.
The Mbilwa Secondary High School pupil made her second appearance at the Thohoyandou Children’s Court on Tuesday where an application to return to her parent’s care was denied. This is after the State asked for a postponement to Thursday.
According to the teen’s defence lawyer, the postponement was due to a shortage of magistrates.
