BREAKING NEWS: The three Ethiopian nationals who are accused of the attempted murder that led to riots and torching of cars and businesses in the Durban CBD three weeks ago have been freed on R5000 bail by the Durban Magistrate’s Court.
The State wanted them to remain behind bars, saying they are flight risks, but the defence disagreed. The State said they won’t be safe outside, but the defence argued that all three accused literally live minutes away from three police stations in the Durban CBD and their safety is guaranteed.
The Magistrate remarked that the three are asylum seekers and as such, they enjoy the same constitutional rights as South Africans and freed them on bail with stringent conditions.
Furthermore, the State tried to point out discrepancies in their passports and asylum documents, raising issues of possible fraud and corruption.
However, the State’s argument was watered down by evidence that was given by an immigration official who told the court that their systems have glitches and sometimes it loses records, hence they don’t have some of the information required for the court to take an informed decision - KZN Tonight Podcast

@junglekxng3 but we are being forced coz now we as the majority must look for alternatives for food that only caters to 2% of the population. The rest of us only slaughter and eat our ritual meat at home but your ritual meat must be consumed by the general public why?
Getting a court order to stop a peaceful protest just a week before elections is political suicide. I honestly don’t know who advises these politicians. 🤦🏾♂️ This is the time to make voters feel that you stand with them not against them. The ANC risks losing KZN for good this time after the stunt they’ve just pulled.
[WATCH] “The protests will stop when the government listens to the people and does what the people want. That’s the only way...” - March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma #Newzroom405
“South Africans have a right to protest." March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma says instead of interdicting only the movement from protesting, the government should also interdict everyone, including foreign nationals accused of peddling drugs. She says the government is only shutting down one voice.
@Tshegothygoat@kaggiso I ate Zulu ritual meat this weekend, why is it negative when its islam? Even they refer to the practice as a ritual.
You guys think just coz you explain the ritual, it somehow makes it less of a ritual. Its literally ritual meat like any other ritual meat
@Vhoyde These people genuinely believe that black South Africans must just be grateful for democracy and shut up while they set up shop.
We have Pakistanis living in remote rural areas in South Africa selling people expired food and if you critic that then israel is funding you.
When a SAn has criticisms for Jews, zionist allies will say they are being paid by Iran and Muslims. When a SAn has criticisms for Muslims, their allies will say you are being paid by zionists. All this is a long way to say that you as a SAn do not have the capacity to criticize these people and can only do so as a puppet of the other. These people may hate each other, but they have a disdain for us.
@Tshegothygoat@kaggiso lmaoo my brother please, the very same article says the opposite. They are against it because they are of other beliefs ( Christian etc).
Also, you lot like to pretend that its JUST about pork and leave out that ritual meat portion of halal conveniently.
@UlrichJvV It stems from this and there have been many cases where people have complaints about halal labels on food. We love islam and its people but keep halal meat out of the public domain.
