FOUR women accused of killing Prince Lethukuthula Zulu will appear at the South Gauteng High Court on Thursday, 18 May. 

The four accused allegedly used sleeping tablets to spike the drinks of their victims.   

The South Gauteng High Court heard when the accused appeared in court on 19 April. 

It is alleged that the four women had ten sleeping tablets each on their possessions when they met Prince Zulu and his friend Nkosi Msimang at the pub in Randburg in 2020.   

It's alleged that accused number four, Portia Mmola had two tablets under her tongue when she kissed Msimang.   

The state prosecutor, advocate Sifiso Khumalo, said the accused used a modus operandi of spiking drinks of their victims before they could rob them.   

Khumalo said the four accused left their residential places in Pretoria intending to rob men.   

Mola denied they wanted to rob the late Prince Zulu and his friend Msimang.

She said they went out to enjoy themselves with Prince Zulu and Msimang.   

She testified that on that fateful day, she kissed Msimang but denied having two sleeping tablets on her tongue when she kissed Msimang.   

She told the court that she took pots, plates, cutlery and two plate stove because she needed to use them at the shack.   

When she was asked about two cell phones, a laptop and R60 000 belonging to Prince Zulu and Msimang that got stolen when the incident happened, she told the court she doesn't know about those items and the money.   

Advocate Khumalo said Sergeant Mofokeng testified that Mmola took him to a place where the laptop was sold, but they couldn't find it.   

Mola said: "Sergeant Mofokeng took me to a lot of places, but we never went to a place where the laptop was sold. I don’t know anything about laptops and cell phones."   

Advocate Khumalo said the four accused showed no remorse throughout their testimonies.   

Prince Zulu (50) was found dead by security guards at his home in a residential complex at Northwold in Joburg on 6 November 2020.   

Mola said she felt sorry about what happened and that if she saw Msimang, she would apologise.   

“I didn’t know about the passing of Prince Zulu. I was only informed by cops when they arrested me.  

"When we left the house, Prince Zulu and Msimang were sleeping in their rooms," she added.
