It was gathered that the community members resorted to jungle justice because charges against Mangebeletane had been provisionally withdrawn by the Kabokweni Magistrates Court due to insufficient evidence.

A 63-year-old traditional healer (sangoma), Mangebeletane Samuel Tsela, who was among the suspects accused of the brutal r*pe and murder of a 6-year-old girl, Bontle Mashiyane, has been set ablaze by angry residents in Mataffin, Mbombela in South Africa.

This was confirmed by the police in Mpumalanga, who also disclosed that one suspect in connection with the jungle justice has been arrested.

Bontle went missing from her home in Mganduzweni near Hazyview on April 30, and her body was found mutilated in the area 21 days later.
 
A neighbour, Ntombikayise Ngwenya; her boyfriend, Collen Hlongwane, Mangebeletane, his son, Philasande Tsela, 28, and one other, were charged with Bontle's kidnapping, murder and r*pe.
 
Mangebeletane and his son were granted R5000 bail on condition that they attend court until the matter is completed.
 
It was gathered that the community members resorted to jungle justice because charges against Mangebeletane had been provisionally withdrawn by the Kabokweni Magistrates Court due to insufficient evidence.
