They were charged with murder, public violence, malicious damage to property and incitement.
Four of the accused are minors aged between 14 and 17.
Godfrey Sibanda was stoned to death during an attack on foreign nationals on June 13.
Mulaudzi said allegations of criminal activity were levelled against foreign nationals in the area and a group of people began to intimidate them.
“Unfortunately... [Sibanda] was cornered by this group and then they stoned him to death. Other victims had their houses vandalised and their belongings were thrown out of their houses.”
