The 50-year-old eldest son of the Zulu monarch was found dead by security guards in his home in a Northwold, Johannesburg, residential complex on November 6.
Tshefogatso Moremane, 30, Margaret Koaile, 42, Portia Mmola, 28, Gontse Tlhoele, 30 and Dakalo Mbedzi, 32, appeared in the Randburg magistrate's court on Monday.
