The former MEC is out on R20 000 bail and is expected to be back in the dock early next year after the Nelspruit magistrates court’s decision on Tuesday. “Taking into consideration that one of the conditions of bail was to report to the police station every Friday, now he’s going to report once a month. The matter has been postponed to 21 January 2021 for the director of public prosecution’s decision,” NPA spokesperson Monica Nyuswa said.

To further this sentiment, the president used his newsletter to highlight the importance of the campaign and note the ways in which GBV affects the country.
