Murder case of Jo-Ann Ntokoto Mabasa postponed again in Alexandra Magistrate's Court
The murder trial of 22-year-old Jo-Ann Ntokoto Mabasa, accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend Xichavo Ntsanwisi in Midrand, has been postponed once more today, Friday, 10 July 2026.
Mabasa is currently appearing in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court, where the matter has been postponed to 7 September 2026. The defence indicated it intends to call seven witnesses, while the prosecution stated that all dockets are now ready.
Mabasa, a Wits law student, remains out on R10,000 bail. She faces a charge of murder following the incident on 22 September 2025, when 31-year-old Xichavo Ntsanwisi was found with a fatal stab wound at a residence in Noordwyk, Midrand. She was arrested shortly afterwards and has pleaded not guilty.
The case has seen multiple postponements over recent months, previously delayed for forensic evidence (including DNA and fingerprints), a decision on trial venue by the Director of Public Prosecutions, and other procedural matters. Ntsanwisi's family has previously expressed frustration over the repeated delays.
The allegations against Mabasa have not been tested in court, and the upcoming trial is expected to examine the full circumstances of the fatal stabbing.
