Mozambican nationals Sifiso Mlanga and Julius Gxowa and South Africans Thabo Moruping and Mbuti Mase face charges of murder, attempted hijacking and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

The matter was postponed to January 18 next year for further investigation.

Dube was shot dead in a botched hijacking in Rosettenville, Johannesburg while dropping off his teenage son and daughter at a relative’s house.

The four men have not yet been asked to plead.
