Pastor William Emeka made the claim via an affidavit read out by his defence attorney, Andrew Maoba, during his formal bail application.

Pastor William Emeka’s bladder was damaged during an alleged assault at the Kgosi Mampuru ll Correctional Centre in Pretoria shortly after he was arrested, the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court heard on Friday.

He said he was urinating blood due to the assault, adding that his release on bail would be in the interests of justice and for the benefit of his health. The 43-year-old Emeka, who hails from the Democratic Republic of Congo, faces four charges of rape and two of sexual assault. He told the court that his financial position was so bad it would be impossible to abscond after being released on bail.

State prosecutor Ntando Humana asked the court to postpone the hearing to May 2 so that further investigations could be conducted to determine whether Emeka was in the country legally. Magistrate M. K. Chauke granted the request.

Mpumalanga pastor and brother burnt alive in act of mob justiceA pastor from Mganduzweni near White River in Mpumalanga and his brother were set alight in an act of mob justice on Thursday. The murder of the children should be condemned in the strongest possible terms and the law should take its course. The frustration of the people may be understandable but also taking the law into their own hands and committing such brutal murders should also be condemned.
