Former South African police officer Matipandile Sotheni pleaded not guilty to murdering Marius van der Merwe, a key witness in a police brutality case. Sotheni, once part of the Special Task Force, faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, premeditated murder, attempted murder, and illegal ammo possession. Another suspect, Wiandre Pretorius, died by suicide. Sotheni expressed frustration in court, claiming innocence and criticizing his lawyer. The case was postponed for a bail hearing, with investigations into the death of Emmanuel Mbhense, the original witness, ongoing.
