Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 21-09-2016
The case against two siblings from Azaadville charged with possession of unlicensed ammunition and explosives has been postponed to September 28.
Ibrahim and his sister Fatima Patel appeared briefly in the Kagiso Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The Hawks raided the sibling’s home in Azaadville in July where they confiscated a number of items including a stun grenade, 21 bullets, computers and cellphones.
Ibrahim and Fatima are both out on bail of R5 000, with strict conditions, including that they report to the Kagiso police station twice a week and stay within the Gauteng province at all times.
Attorney Yousha Tayob says the siblings have been left traumatized by the arrest
“Obviously an arrest is traumatic, publicity is traumatic, it’s been traumatic since the start. The level of trauma had since settled down and they were now fine.”
According to News 24, Magistrate Jacob Mamabolo also granted amendments to the siblings bail conditions after the court heard that Fatima had got married and was now living near Verulam in KwaZulu-Natal and Ibrahim who was in the livestock business often needed to travel in and out of the province.
The matter was postponed for the State to furnish Tayob with a copy of the docket and for a decision to be made on whether the matter be transferred to a regional court.
Tayob would not be drawn on how confident he was about winning the case saying there were a number of options available and a decision would be made once they received the docket.
