The mother of five-year-old Obakeng Minyuku, who was shot while playing on the street, was in tears while leaving the court before proceedings concluded as the woman accused of shooting her son dead pleaded to be released on bail.
The courtroom at Temba magistrates court was packed when Tselane Lebogang Mautla, 38, made her second appearance for a charge of murder.
Obakengs family and community members looked on as Mautlas attorney, Matsobane Lekgothoane, read out his clients affidavit, but the emotional mother left as soon as she heard her childs alleged killer asked to be granted bail.
