Cekeshe’s legal team – led by Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and Wikus Steyl – indicated that it would be appeal Monday’s outcome to the high court after magistrate Theunis Carstens declined both applications made by the defence, stating that they would not be in the interest of justice.
The defence highlighted that there were loopholes in Cekeshe’s case – such as video footage which was said to have identified Cekeshe but was not presented before the court nor was he clearly identified from the footage. He added that Cekeshe’s plea of guilt was grounds enough to convict him and that he believed no other court would disagree with his judgement.
We note the dismissal of both the leave to appeal and bail for fees must fall activists Khaya Cekeshe by the Johannesburg Magistrate Court. We’re in the process of urgently assisting him with an application for presidential pardon or other legally available avenues.Steyl confirmed that Lamola’s chief of staff had contacted him.
VBS on talk time. Small boy wants a big say.

UZamayirha Lunga must be RELEASED however Mandla and his EFF musn't be allowed to threaten the country with their empty threats hijacking Lunga's situation doesn't make them champions

UZamayirha When start paying PAYE, then start talking.
UZamayirha Lawlessness is not tolerated in this country, fixing one thing by destroying another is not a suitable solution, only an appeal to the High court is suitable not unruly behaviour.
UZamayirha Go on fella
UZamayirha Destruction of property during protests is out of order, it's time people are held accountable.
UZamayirha 'Fake judges.' No respect for the judiciary.
UZamayirha Fake judges. Learn from the best mfanyana. Those are your leaders words.

UZamayirha Criminals belong in prison. Period.
UZamayirha Listen desperate times calls for distracting measures for our looting champagne socialists, but when they make these threats as if 95% of the country support them😂. As for trying to spring Mr Attention Seeker, they send a clear disgusting message: it's ok to destroy uni property
UZamayirha Shit down the entire country? You have an exaggerated sense of self importance. Who are you to do that.

UZamayirha When you plan to sabotage the economy because a magistrate in a duly constituted court made a certain finding, then you belong in jail. In addition, your open contempt if court warrants further sanction which could include a fine and /or jail term.
UZamayirha You're next. Shut down ya masimba😩😋😋
UZamayirha You are confused. Read the facts and the law. How can you grant an appeal to a person that pleaded guilty? Another court will not overturn judgment. He's found guilty. The presiding judge on his own guilty plea found him guilty. Don't mislead ppl.
UZamayirha He pleaded guilty mos
UZamayirha National shut down of Republic of Actonville

Please free this poor child, I beg you. Someone killed 2 cyclist and he was handed a 10 year suspended sentence, now this one who hasn't killed a single soul gets to be jailed for years. He must rot in jail the thug.
