“He is a danger to the community, the family and even to himself,”said Dr Gloria Setshedi a sister to the deceased, when asked to state reasons for bail refusal.
Magistrate Zain Moosa, refused to grant Ratshilingana bail stating that he fears for his safety as the community and the family are still angry and his life could be in danger.
