HILLBROW musician Solomon Sithole appeared briefly in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court last week following the fatal stabbing of his wife, women’s abuse campaigner Susan Sithole, last year.
The alleged murder occured on November 25, International Day of No Violence Against Women. Susan Sithole had planned to leave her husband and had returned to their flat after a previous assault to remove her belongings.
Witnesses claimed that she had asked for a police escort, which had left a few minutes before her husband allegedly stabbed her.
No charges were put to Sithole and the case was postponed to January 26.
