Case against man 'found with firearm' owned by Esther Mahlangu postponed


The case of Jan Mlemani Kwati Masilela, who was allegedly found in possession of a firearm owned by renowned African artist Esther Mahlangu after she was attacked at home, has been postponed to June for further investigation.

Masilela, who is out on R3,000 bail, was back at the Mdutjana magistrate's court on Tuesday, charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm.

The 87-year-old artist was robbed and attacked at her home in Weltevrede near Siyabuswa on March 19. She was assaulted and had her hands tied with a cord. The suspect searched her bedroom and took a safe containing a 7.65mm pistol, an undisclosed sum of cash and keys, before fleeing.

Duh! He is not a flight risk, that's why they got bail. Furthermore, the less chance of being a flight risk, the less your bail will be.

I don't think it should only be the flight risk but the possibility of the accused intimidating or even popping off any witnesses, investigating policemen etc.

FFS can't they even charge and jail him for being in possession of a firearm and stolen property.

Then the rest can follow when ready.

Yeah rank incompetence here between the saps and NPA. The NPA really need to stop this habit of charging people when the case still has years of investigation to go still.
