Six members of the Alexandra Dudula Movement will appear in the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court for a bail hearing.
The members of the Dudula and #OperationFiyela were arrested on March 8 at the Pan Africa trading square following heated clashes between Dudula members and foreign hawkers and the law enforcement agencies.
They first appeared in court on March 10 and the accused were remanded in custody to appear today (March 17) for a bail application.
Addressing members outside on March 10, chairperson of Dudula Simon ‘Msyza’ Tsatsi urged his members to brace themselves for contributions towards bailing their comrades when they appear next (March 17), estimating the amount to be around R20 000 for all of them.
Meanwhile, ogogo in Alexandra are said to have accused what they called marauding Dudula members of extorting money from them, which they were not sure what it will be used for.
But Dudula leader Agnes Malatjie disputed the accusations, saying their members of the organisation that were tasked with collecting money to bail their comrades and added that ogogo could be referring to these comrades doing the rounds for bail money.
“If there are imposters going around the township harassing ogogo in or name, we will deal with them once they are caught. We have never issued instructions to anyone to harass ogogo but people are free to donate towards securing freedom for their comrades,” she said.
