Meanwhile, Hawks Spokesperson Katlego Mogale has refuted claims that those arrested are targeted because they are Zuma supporters.

The case of a 35-year-old man accused of involvement in inciting the violence that led to the looting and destruction of the Brookside Mall in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal has been postponed to Monday next week. The man who was arrested at the weekend appeared briefly in the local magistrate’s court. He faces two charges of contravening the Riotous Assemblies Act.

These include inciting public violence and inciting arson.

The charges relate to the incidences of looting and public violence that occurred in KwaZulu-Natal last month, in particular, the burning of the mall. The appearance was held on camera because an identity parade had not yet been conducted.

The National Prosecuting Authority’s provincial Spokesperson Natasha Kara says, “A 35-year-old man appeared in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court. The appearance was held on camera due to an identity parade that is yet to be conducted. The matter was postponed to 06 September 2021 for bail investigation.”
