De Jager’s bail application resumes, community demands bail be denied

Community members are back at the Amanzimtoti Magistrate's Court today to stand in solidarity and demand Werner de Jager be denied bail.

THE state will be submitting its final arguments in the Werner de Jager case today (February 6) following delays in yesterday’s court proceedings.

The magistrate tried by all means to reach a decision on whether the bail application could be finalised, however, a late start to the day, and the state and De Jager’s defence being unable to reach an agreement, resulted in the case being adjourned.

Although not as many as yesterday, community members are back at the Amanzimtoti Magistrate’s Court to stand in solidarity and demand bail be denied.

Residents shouted ‘No bail, go to jail’ and held placards that said ‘No bail, Liezel’s children miss their mom’ and ‘Justice for Liezel’ as De Jager exited the van and entered the court.

Updates to follow.

Posters saying ‘No bail, Liezel’s children miss their mom’ and ‘Justice for Liezel’ were visible outside the court.
