MTHATHA - More suspects have appeared at the Mthatha magistrate's court, charged with the murder of seven people at a village in Bityi last month.
Their attorney successfully argued for his clients' faces not to be shown in the media, saying their lives could be at risk after permission was granted to film court proceedings.

Meanwhile, Mlamli Mgxada -- whose wife was gunned down a week before the mass shooting -- made a startling revelation to eNCA.
He claims an investigator told him that one of his family members may have worked in cahoots with the accused to carry out the shootings.
The bail application has been postponed to 13 December as one of the accused was without a legal representative.
