They need to lock him up and throw away the key!!! A menace to society!
@KhangaleSni
Why is it that he already has bail today but others get reprimanded to stay at least a week before bail can be arranged
@LikhonaNg;
Why are they still giving him bail like he’s a first-time offender
@Phaks1987;
How did he make bail so fast? Why didn’t the judge postpone
@DojaSnac;
Knowing that he’s not a 1st time offender why was he granted bail?is he not supposed to be held in custody until he’s proven innocent of the alleged charges?
@Dlakadla_mezulu;
They’re giving bail to an ex-convict? A second-time offender on charges of assault, attempted murder, and rape? Hai our justice system sometimes fails us. This one should be locked up and bail denied.
