Parliament arson accused Zandile Mafe was clean-shaven and neatly dressed in the Cape Town magistrate's court on Tuesday, in contrast to his dishevelled appearance last week.The state has hinted at evidence linking the man accused of setting the National Assembly alight to the crime. Zandile Mafe, 49, had a count for contravention of the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act added to his charge sheet during his appearance in the Cape Town magistrate's court on Tuesday. This was after the state withdrew a charge of destruction of essential infrastructure against him.was added after they viewed video footage.
“We finalised the charge sheet yesterday [Monday] after watching video footage,” said Booysen. However, she did not elaborate on the footage. Mafe’s counsel Dali Mpofu and Booysen butted heads over Mafe’s mental health and bail application. The prosecution revealed that district surgeon Dr Zelda van Tonder had diagnosed Mafe with paranoid schizophrenia. Booysen asked that Mafe be referred to a mental centre for 30 days' observation.
There's no video footage here they think were dumb.. U wake a homeless man from sleep and arrest him and then tell us abt video footage bullshit
Tell them to post it here
I hope they tested his stomach soon as they arrested him for the type of food he digested. Whoever sent him to burn the place, I bet you, bought him a fancier meal than he's used to. If indeed he acted alone, which I highly doubt, his apparent mental illness comes into play then.
They probably saw him light up a cigarette lighter while saying
So the first time when he was charged they didn't look at the video footage?
mkay cool so we just so btw make up charges as we go along - gotcha chief
