Parliament fire suspect to be sent for psychiatric observation

Back in court, after a brief adjournment, Mpofu said his client had made clear that he would embark on a hunger strike should his bail application not proceed. He said Mafe did not understand how the state could not have fed him while he was on the street as a homeless person but could now feed him in prison. Magistrate Zamekile Mbalo said Mafe must be observed when prima facie evidence recommended it and ruled, based on the state’s evidence, that the accused be sent for mental observation.

The case was postponed to 11 February. The defence indicated it would bring a bail application, but no date was set.
