Sebolai, 37, was denied bail on July 16.
Magistrate Herman Badenhorst said that since Sebolai had been on the run for nine days before his arrest, there was a danger he could abscond.
Sebolai is accused of stabbing his girlfriend Rachel Dolly Tshabalala at his flat in Jabulani, Soweto, on June 29.
The Jozi FM DJ was arrested in Dube on July 8.
On July 16, investigating officer, Constable Oupa Khubeka, told the court the wounds Tshabalala suffered were horrendous.
She was found in a pool of blood in bed. Blood had been wiped off the floors in the flat, Khubeka said.
Sebolai testified and denied stabbing Tshabalala. He said an argument ensued between him and Tshabalala.
"She grabbed the knife and tried to stab me. I tried to block it... We were in a standing position. She got stabbed while we were struggling for the knife," he said.
He said he did not know what to do and decided to pack his clothes and leave the flat in Tshabalala's car.
The case was postponed for further investigation.
