Musa Khawula set to be released from prison on 6 September amid murder trial

Controversial blogger Musa Khawula has requested an isiZulu interpreter to help him follow the court proceedings in his Western Cape murder case. The case, which was postponed on Monday in the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court, involves allegations that Khawula killed his then-boyfriend, Wandile Khambule, on the West Coast in March 2022.

“The case of Musa Khawula was on the roll at Vredenburg magistrate’s court and has been remanded to October 1 for judicare confirmation and [to secure] isiZulu interpreter,” said National Prosecuting Authority Western Cape spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila.

Khawula is currently serving a sentence for failing to appear in court in Gauteng. Police arrested him at the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on July 9 during one of his appearances. “His current sentence finishes on September 6,” said Ntabazalila.
