Durban - Bail has been denied against the DUT “king” #FeesMustFall protester.

There were clicks of the tongues as students left the courtroom in visible disgust
Bonginkosi “Education” Khanyile had come to court carrying a bag, presumably thinking his release would be secured on Monday. There were tears outside court from a student standing next to Khanyile’s mother, who was also angry.

Defence attorney, Wandile Cele, said they would not appeal bail at this stage.

In her judgment, Magistrate Jackie Jonck said it was not in the interest of justice to release Khanyile on bail. She cited video evidence brought by the state last week that showed Khanyile assaulting police with stones and a slingshot and also a video where he called on students to “moer the police”.

“#FeesMustFall has merit, but you have no right to act in a destructive manner, no right to stop students going to class, you have no right to attack law enforcement officers and you have no right to stop the university academic programme,” she said.

Jonck said although Khanyile had made a plea that he would adhere to strict bail conditions which included him distancing himself from protest and reporting to the police station twice a day, she said his arrest on this matter showed there was already evidence he had breached conditions on a matter he was released on bail from earlier this year in which he had said he should not partake in unlawful protest.

Khanyile faced an additional charge of incitement of violence after the state presented new video evidence in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

EFF Student Command-aligned Khanyile was arrested on September 27 when a group of students had been marching between the Durban University of Technology’s Steve Biko and ML Sultan residences.

In addition to the new charge of incitement to commit public violence, Khanyile already faced charges for public violence, illegal gathering, possession of explosives, possession of dangerous weapons, obstructing traffic and causing a nuisance on public roads.

Pity it's not mentioned if she was angry at her son or angry at the justice system :rolleyes:

I love how they subtly throw the meaning of his name into the article. Bonginkosi “Education” Khanyile

Sounds more like a nickname to me?

From my understanding, his surname is derived from Shine, and his firstname from Happy Lord...

Its time to declare universities National Key Points, and to quell this unrest with responding brutality.
