Cape Town - One of President Thabo Mbeki's VIP Protection Unit bodyguards
has appeared in court in Cape Town after allegedly shooting a man dead
in a shebeen at the weekend.
The Western Cape head of the Independent Complaints Directorate
(ICD), Thabo Leholo, confirmed on Friday that Sergeant Sabata Vula faced
charges of murder and attempted murder.
He would be back in the Blue Downs Magistrate's Court on
Tuesday for a bail application, which the ICD would oppose, Leholo said.
He said Vula was being charged with the murder of Reginald
Mofemela, and the attempted murder of Ncebekazi Booi, who was shot in
the right arm.
The Cape Argus has reported that Booi is believed to be
Vula's girlfriend.
