The 21-year-old’s body was found burnt and mutilated in an open field last month.

The murder accused is a fellow student at Goldfields TVET College.

The motive for the murder is unknown and the suspect is expected to appear in court on 14 June for a formal bail application.

JOHANNESBURG - The companies involved in the manufacturing of contaminated processed meat products could face lawsuits.
Since January 2017, 948 people have contracted listeriosis -- a disease caused by bacteria from soil, water, vegetation and animal faeces which can contaminate fresh food, notably meat.
At least 180 have died , according to official figures.
An attorney warned that lawsuits won't be an easy process, especially for those who have already lost their loved ones.
"Only somebody who is dependent on those people for support could then claim the loss of support. There isn’t a claim for emotional distress or anything like that because of the people passing away," said Ian Jacobsberg, a Hogan Lovells partner.
On Sunday, Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi advised South Africans to avoid eating all processed meat products sold as "ready to eat" after announcing Enterprise as the outbreak's source.
The Department of Health ordered retailers to
immediately recall affected products.
The chief executive of Tiger Brands, which owns Enterprise, denied that its products had been shown to be responsible for the deaths.
"There is no direct link with the deaths to our products," Lawrence MacDougall told a news conference.
MacDougall did acknowledge that the government had linked the ST6 strain of listeria bacteria detected in Enterprise facilities with the outbreak.
"We are being extra cautious and vigilant, we are recalling all products made from the two facilities" affected, he said, adding that the government had only ordered the company to withdraw three product lines.
"Any loss of life is tragic. It is devastating for me to have our products linked to this outbreak."
As fears of listeria continued to rise in South Africa, food retailers have announced product recalls .

JOHANNESBURG - Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said his department is not in crisis.
That's after the listeriosis outbreak claimed 180 lives .
Motsoaledi revealed on Sunday that the origin of the outbreak has been traced to polony from the Enterprise Foods factory in Polokwane.
"Listeriosis outbreaks happen every day, even now there's an outbreak in Australia," he said.
He urged South Africans -- especially the pregnant, ill and elderly -- to steer clear not only of polony, but russians, viennas and other processed meat.
Motsoaledi also said it’s unfair to draw comparisons between the outbreak and Gauteng’s Life Esidimeni tragedy.JOHANNESBURG - Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said his department is not in crisis.

BUSHBUCKRIDGE – A 36 year-old woman was allegedly raped after she stopped her car to help someone she thought was in trouble. According to Brig Leonard Hlathi, the incident took place on Wednesday at around 17:30 on the road between Lydenburg and Bushbuckridge.
“The woman was driving home when a half-naked lady emerged from the bushes and waved her down acting like she needed help. First the woman drove on, then decided to drive back and help the lady. As soon as she stopped her vehicle the half naked lady vanished and a man came out of the bushes wearing a balaclava. He pointed a firearm at her.”
He got into the vehicle next to her and instructed her to drive towards Injaka dam. They stopped the vehicle in a remote area. The man then contacted his friend who joined them. “The woman tried to escape but the suspect fired a shot. Then he forced her to undress and him and his accomplice took turns raping her.”
They further robbed the woman of an undisclosed amount of money, a cellphone and other belongings, then fled the scene in a green Volkswagen Citi Golf.
No one has been arrested as yet and police are on the lookout for the suspects including the lady who appeared to be asking for assistance.
Lt Gen Mondli Zuma urged motorists to be wary of people who seek help along the road.
Anyone with information that could lead to their arrest is urged to call Constable Dolly Marule at 072 969 1985 or the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
