During proceedings, the court heard that Mnisi had violated his parole conditions when he went to visit friends in a different district outside of the hours stated for his parole conditions.

Due to his parole violation for a sentence of 18 years he was serving for attempted murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances, Magistrate Delize Smith said, “Copy of the court's order must be sent to correctional supervision or parole officers, immediately and the bail can only be effective after the parole board has decided on the parole of the applicant.”
