Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Langa community is happy after their pleas for the Bishop Lavis Magistrate’s Court to refuse the bail application of a woman accused of throwing boiling water on child in Settlers, Langa, were heard.
The court dismissed Asanda Makaluza’s bail application on Friday.
The case was postponed to 20 September for further investigation.
According to Phakade, the magistrate described Makaluza as “arrogant and unremorseful” and said she was “cruel and a danger to society”.
Phakade said:
The child’s aunt, Yonela Mnyombolo, told News24 that the family was “heartbroken”, and said Kala was complaining about his burn wounds and had to regularly go for check-up visits at a clinic.
“Yesterday, he was very sore. Some of the wounds are still on his body and are bleeding. He was crying out in pain,” Mnyombolo said.
She added that his mother was in the Eastern Cape.
Mnyombolo was grateful for the support received from the community.
