Counsel accuses state of not knowing what to charges should be

Shonisani TshikalangeThe formal bail application of 53 war veterans who allegedly held defence minister Thandi Modise hostage last week will continue on Tuesday at the Kgosi Mampuru prison court in Pretoria.

“At this stage we cannot say what charges we are going to add. At this stage the profiling of the accused has not been done, the confirmation of addresses has not been done, so pending all this ... then we will know what other charges to add,” she said. Military veterans sang outside, and inside court the accused could be heard singing a struggle song. They held numbers written on white sheets of paper as they appeared. The number of accused was reduced from 56 to 53 after three were found to be hotel staff and released. The accused ranged in age from the mid-40s to 63.“The state doesn’t know what it wants to charge the people with or whether to charge them at all.

Says the wannebee that are losing all his law cases

So were they hostages or not..? If yes, that is illegal. If not, why was it necessary to call in the police to rescue the minister? Something does not add up. Smells like a Zuma trick.

The Minister did say they were even singing, there was no animosity, no weapons. This is making a mountain out of an anthill. Just like President saying there was an insurrection,next thing we will be told of an attempted coup.

The mood was that of a conference and engagements get heated, I don't think they meant any harm to the aforementioned

dali mpofu will say anything and fight for a baseless cause just to let the fees roll in

MK Vets say government overreacted to ‘hostage situation’Disbanded military veterans association says government used ‘excessive force to resolve a nonviolent situation’ These MK clowns should be disbanded and outlawed. An ill-disciplined combatant is a criminal. Just imagine if a group of Boer militants took a minister hostage? Utterly inexcusable and the law must take it cause to prevent future occurrence. Cause and effect, one party always objects. “What I do wrong”
