Once news broke about the death of Mia Muofhe, the tongues were aflutter, with little sympathy for the comedian. His reputation and the history of what had happened previously counted against him, and he was immediately assumed to be the main suspect.

On Saturday afternoon, the police issued a press release stating that a 38-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the death of Lindelani Nengovhela. No one had any difficulty deducting that Madadzhe was the one arrested.

On Monday morning, Madadzhe cut a lone figure in the dock at the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court. Crying uncontrollably, he pleaded with the court to release him, so that he could go and prepare to bury his wife. The case was postponed to the next day for him to have his legal representative at his side.

When he appeared on Tuesday, Madadzhe was much more subdued. His lawyer, Advocate Ntsako Hlungwani, spoke on his behalf and indicated that he was abandoning his bail bid. The case was postponed to 23 February and Madadzhe remains in custody.

Lindelani Nengovhela will be laid to rest at Vondo La Thavha, pending the finalisation of the autopsy.
