The man could not be filmed or named as he still needs to go through more identity parades.

“An identity parade has since taken place where he was positively identified as one of the people who were there and attacked the patrollers so that’s how he was linked hence his appearance today”, said the NPA’s Lumka Mahanjana.
He will return to court on Tuesday for this matter and for the possession of a firearm and ammunition, a charge which led to his arrest last week
He is also facing charges for being in the country illegally.
