Flabba's girlfriend granted bail─── 12:10 Mon, 16 Mar 2015
Sindisiwe Manqele, the woman alleged to have killed musician Flabba, has been granted bail.
Manqele was given R10 000 bail in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court on Monday. She told the court that she killed Flabba in self-defence. The 26-year-old appeared in the court today to apply for bail. She pleaded not guilty.
Manqele allegedly stabbed and killed the rapper last Monday morning.
According to the South African Press Association, eNCA reported that Manqele's lawyer handed in a medical report showing multiple soft tissue injuries. She reportedly stated in court papers that she should be released on bail because there was no proof that she would disturb public order.
Sunday World has reported that the lovers started fighting at The Sands, a nightclub in Sandton, Johannesburg. Police officers, who did not want to be named, told the paper that Manqele slapped Flabba at The Sands after accusing him of flirting with his ex-girlfriend. One officer told the paper that the woman, who is being charged with murder, got angry when she saw the rapper constantly taking a break to chat to the woman. She reportedly confronted him, asking him why he disrespected her by getting cosy with his ex in her presence. "The two argued over this and she slapped him," the cop told Sunday World.
The told the paper that after she stabbed him, Manqele said: "Sorry, I have done something wrong. I stabbed him by mistake.'" By that time, Flabba was screaming and saying, 'f**K, this b**** has just stabbed me'. He was declared dead at the scene.
The paper also revealed that as Flabba was taking his last breath, Manqele was crying hysterically. She reportedly placed her hand on his chest and asked him not to leave her.
Family spokesperson Tshepang Habedi said his brother was stabbed once in the heart.
The two groups traded insults, and the residents insisted Manqele should not be granted bail.
