In another unexpected twist, ANC Nelson Mandela Bay Councillor Andile Lungisa has opted to remain in prison despite being granted R10 000 bail by the Eastern Cape division of the High Court in Makhanda on Friday.

Makhanda -

This after he had smashed a glass jug over the head of DA councillor Rano Kayser during a brawl at the council in October 2016. News24 has reported that Lungisa’s brother, Ayongezwa Lungisa, said that his brother had opted to stay in prison because he wanted to “first complete the programmes he has started in prison before coming out”.

“He wants to demystify the myth that he wants to buy away all the problems he is facing. The second thing is that it may appear that he is not a law abiding citizen, that’s why he said he wants to remain inside to finish those programmes , when he finishes those he will come out and join his family and the people of South Africa,” Lungisa’s brother said.

One has just suggested it's a good move in case he loses his appeal. If he losses his option will count in his favour. He won't stay that long.

Convict Andile Lungisa resists calls to quit city councilFormer youth league leader Andile Lungisa cites ANC constitution, and argues assault is not corruption in a bid to keep his party membership. As long as he is in prison. The other issues must he take up with the organization A political prisoner? No, you’re a criminal. No matter what political party you are affiliated with, jail birds remains criminals and must be treated as such. The dressing is in any case very familiar to that of the eff. Consequently Lungisa should feel at home there.
