Although his previous attempts of getting out on bail failed, he managed to cough up R1 000 which he paid on November 19.
The incidents which he is going to stand trial for happened in July this year and he was apprehended by members of the Witbank Police as well as members from the SACCW (South African Community Crime Watch).
The accused pretended to be a police official, asking foreigners for their asylum papers and passports, as well as intimidating them.
