Mhlongo: When we got to the Sandton Skye, Sandile was not there. We asked the manager to call and ask him when he would be back. He said he would arrive at 9PM.
We then asked to see CCTV video footage at the apartment.#Sandilemantsoe#Karabomokoena

Mhlongo: When I saw the blood on the carpet I asked him about it and he said he knows nothing about it.
I then warned him that he better tell the truth.#SandileMantsoe#KaraboMokoena
