The Johannesburg high court is yet to decide on whether an alleged child sex-ring kingpin broke his bail conditions.

He visited a doctor on Friday and obtained a medical certificate. With his legs chained, Ackerman had visible fresh wounds on his head and was clad in a white T-shirt and shorts.

He said he was mugged on Friday by three assailants who took his phone and wallet after he saw a doctor. He didn’t provide the court with a medical certificate and could not remember what happened to it. Ackerman alleged his bail conditions were amended and he didn’t know he was required to report to police if he moved within GautengProsecutor Valencia Dube brought an urgent application on Saturday for Ackerman's bail to be revoked after he failed to provide a doctor's certificate on Friday.

Earlier, the court heard Ackerman intended to evade the trial and commit suicide. Statements obtained by police at the weekend alleged he was trying to run away.
