BARBERTON – A well- known lawyer and City of Mbombela Local Municipality councillor, Mandla Mamba will appear at the local magistrate court today on violation of his bail condition.
Mamba was rearrested and charged with the violation of his bail conditions on Wednesday afternoon.
Magistrate Lucky Mhlanga refused to release Mamba on the ground that the magistrate who granted Mamba a R10 000 bail for his initial charges of malicious damage to property and theft of a firearm a month ago, would have to determine whether he violated his bail conditions or not.
