Thabani Goodwill Ntshalintshali appeared briefly in the Kempton Park magistrate's court on Wednesday in connection with the murder of City of Ekurhuleni senior auditor Mpho Mafole.
The case of Ntshalintshali, 40, who has been charged with murder, was postponed until August 15 for further investigation.
The state alleges that on June 30 in Kempton Park, the deceased was allegedly followed after attending a work-related meeting on the day of the incident. He was shot and declared dead at the scene, National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said.
A witness later informed police about a suspicious vehicle in the area, which led authorities to launch an investigation that eventually pointed to the accused.
She said Ntshalintshali was also facing another pending murder case scheduled for trial on August 12.
