The DA has taken note of the R1 500 bail granted to Nhlanhla Hendry “Mampintsha” Nkosi, who is apparently the Uthukela leader of the ANC Youth League, and two of his co-accused.
The three who were arrested on 12 July 2021, stand accused of instigating public violence following the riots which devastated the KwaZulu-Natal province.
The DA was present at the court proceedings today.
The court was informed that a new, more senior investigating officer has been appointed to probe the matter.
We welcome this development and trust the the investigating officer will investigate these allegations without fear or favour.
The DA will closely monitor the investigation and will again be present at the court when the matter will be heard on 27 August 2021.
