Voster Netsiongolo has only been accused of being an accessory to murder.
Julies (16), who had Down syndrome, was shot and killed last month just a few meters from his home.
Community members began singing in the courtroom on Thursday after the three policemen made a brief appearance.
They want Netsiongolo to become a state witness, as the police officer allegedly cleared the scene after the shooting.
Netsiongolo’s lawyers told the court that he had made an admission.
Phindi Mjonodwane from the National Prosecutor’s Office said: “The Defense submitted a request in terms of Section 335 of the Criminal Procedure Law which establishes that an accused person has the right to a copy of the statement he made with the police on his arrest. As a state, we were not opposed ”.
The matter was postponed until September 22 to request a bond.
