File Photo: Zandile Mafe, who is accused for torching Parliament, appears in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on January 11, 2022.File Photo: Zandile Mafe, who is accused for torching Parliament, appears in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on January 11, 2022.has been postponed yet again in the Western Cape High Court on Friday. Mafe would not leave his prison cell at Pollsmoor Correctional facility to attend the hearing in court.

Luvuyo Godla, Mafe’s legal representative, told the court his client demanded a television, radio and a kettle to make coffee and take hot baths. He was denied a kettle and TV but it was agreed that he may get a small radio. “I do not think he knows the repercussions and the implications of what he is doing but as a legal representative I definitely need to alert him on those things. I would not as well assume that he disrespects the court. Maybe it’s a way of expressing himself, obvious we differ with people, looking at ordinary people might not know the implications of what he is doing.

“We were informed this morning by the chief of court that the accused did refuse to come out of his prison cell, there were no reasons provided then. It’s only now that we heard from his legal representatives the reasons behind him refusing to come out of his cell.

The Court must simply sentence him for Contempt and move him to a maximum security prison!

This case is such a big fat joke. A joke to us as taxpayers having to pay for this nonsense. Moreover, to our so-called justice system. Like we really believe that this man actually set parliament on fire... mxm 🙄🚮🚮🚮
