Phongolo 🚛Truck driver, Sibusiso Siyaya, who was involved in the crash that claimed the lives of 20 people, fears for his life. Filming in court proceedings was prohibited this morning. Here's what he said 👇

During his court appearance, Siyaya opposed the media’s application to film or photograph the proceedings of his case, saying he feared for his safety and retaliation from the community.

The state argued that while the accused’s rights should be respected, they should be balanced with those of the general public. The court confirmed that Siyaya may not be filmed or photographed until the outcome of his bail application next week.The case was deferred to 26 September 2022 for his bail hearing.

The State is opposing Siyaya’s bail application alleging that he attempted to avoid justice when he fled the accident scene.
