JUST IN: Nelson Mandela Bay ANC Councillor Andile Lungisa has until Thursday to report to correctional services to begin serving his effective two-year jail term for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

His attorney Alwyn Griebenow confirmed that the justice department had served notice on his office at about midday on Tuesday giving Lungisa 48 hours to report to serve his sentence.

A group of former ANCYL leaders who are behind a campaign called “justice for Lungisa” kicked off the confusion with a statement on Monday saying the application would take place. But senior state advocate Nickie Turner confirmed that the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions had received no notice of any application to extend his bail. She said she had also confirmed on Tuesday with the high court registrar’s office that nothing was set down to be argued.
