Mob attack accused get bail

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Four Grahamstown men accused of trying to murder a former suspect in a kidnapping case, were released on bail of R500 each on Friday.

Appearing in the local magistrate’s court were Vuyani Tsalo, 28, Abongile Budoz, 24, Xolisani Gula, 34, and Mattheus Gazaga, 45, all of Extension 7 in the town.

Magistrate Sarel Strauss postponed the matter to April 7 for further investigation, and state prosecutor Katherine Bell did not oppose the bail application.

The State alleges the four were part of a mob that attacked and severely injured Sabelo Mancam, 26, two weeks ago, just three days after a charge of kidnapping had been withdrawn against him and two other men.

Mancam, whose house was burnt down during the attack, was so badly injured he had to be sent to Port Elizabeth for treatment and was taken to hospital for a week.

He was one of three suspects alleged to have kidnapped Ntomboxolo Bashe, 22, on December 3 last year.

Bashe, the mother of a two-year-old daughter, has still not been found, despite an intensive ground and air search.

Her disappearance sparked outrage in the community, and each court appearance by the three suspects was accompanied by angry demonstrations outside the court building.

The case against the three was withdrawn on February 14, after the state admitted that there was only “circumstantial evidence that Bashe was last seen in their company”.

During Friday’s short proceedings, the public gallery was packed with supporters and friends of the four accused, and many congratulated each other when bail was granted. – Sapa
