The 24-year-old appeared at the Roodepoort magistrate's court on Friday and made a U-turn on his bid to apply for bail. Slamang was arrested after allegedly trying to kidnap a four-year-old girl at the restaurant last week.
“We don’t support what he did. We are also angry. We don’t want him to get bail. We want him to pay for his crime,” his father told TimesLIVE. He said his son is not the bad person he has been made out to be on social media, but admitted he did not always stay on the right path.He said the family had taken a toll over the restaurant incident, and has even received death threats.
“We will kill him” and “we know where you stay” read some of the text messages received by the father.“I no longer read them. I just delete them immediately,” he said. On Thursday the court heard that Slamang had a criminal record — with three convictions — but details of the incidents were not revealed.Asked if he had seen the footage of the alleged attempted kidnapping, the father responded “yes”.
