Diepsloot protests: Three community leaders released on R500 bail

Africa-Press – South-Africa. A Randburg magistrate warned three Diepsloot community leaders against participating in protests in the area when she released them on R500 bail on Wednesday.

Lefa Nkala, Loyiso Toyiya and Jack Hlongwane were arrested on public violence charges on 29 June in connection with protests in Diepsloot about escalating crime in the area.

They appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court where the investigating officer, Sergeant Khanyisani Mathabela, did not oppose their release on bail.

Mathabela said they were waiting the outcome of a Johannesburg Roads Agency investigation into the damage caused to roads during the protest.

Magistrate Nosiphiwo Gcau postponed the case to 16 August.
