Supporters of political parties EFF and ANC together with community members gathered outside the Nelspruit magistrate's court on Thursday morning ahead of the bail application of one of Hillary Gardee's murder accused Sipho Mkhatshwa.

The bail application started before midday as the court was hearing other cases earlier in the morning.

Members of the EFF national leadership, including deputy secretary-general Poppy Maelola, national chairperson Veronica Mente, treasurer-general Omphile Maotwe and provincial chairperson Collen Sedibe, were seen sitting with the Gardee family inside the courtroom. Some of the placards the protesters held up outside read: “Being a woman should not be a death sentence”, “Am I next?”, “No bail, no soft life”.Philemon Lukhele and Albert Gama face five other charges, including rape and kidnapping.

The three abandoned their bail bids in their first court appearance, however Mkhatshwa has since made a U-turn and opted to apply for bail. s adopted son and the family revealed that he has a history of violent behaviour.Lukhele worked as a senior manager in the chief whip's office before his arrest. The ANC has since suspended Lukhele for being a Eswatini nationality.
