Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The case against a 51-year-old man believed to be one of the instigators of the July unrest was transferred to the Durban Regional Court, where his bail application will be heard.<\/p>\n

Mattews Tjontjo appeared in the Ventersdorp Magistrate’s Court in North West on Friday.<\/p>\n

Tjontjo faces charges of conspiracy to commit public violence, incitement to commit public violence, and incitement to commit arson.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for the North West National Prosecuting Authority, Henry Mamothame, said Tjontjo was linked to a WhatsApp group that conspired to create instability by looting shops and businesses during the period of 8 to 17 July 2021.<\/p>\n

“It resulted in acts of looting and destruction of property, at which huge financial and job losses were registered,” said Mamothame.<\/p>\n

He added: “There are a number of suspects, who will be arrested in other provinces, and their cases will be transferred to KZN.”<\/p>\n

Tjontjo will remain in police custody until 17 August, when he will appear in court.<\/p>\n

His case will be joined to that of the other accused persons facing similar charges, Mamothame said.<\/p>\n
