What a farce! PresidencyZA

Initially, his lawyers opposed his referral for psychiatric evaluation, now the State is ready to proceed with trial, his lawyers now want the further evaluation. Is Mpofu SC still involved in this matter?

This one must just rot in jail

He is well rested in prison this person that being homeless… he eat good food and has access to the best health care … and he is crazy on top of that …

Are police failing to bring him by force?

Who cares? He is in prison.

Basically he showed the justice system a middle finger

I think the guy must go for psychiatric evaluation.

Finally, a place to stay...

Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Lisa_berry77 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R150,000 in 3 weeks thanks Lisa_berry77

Even Mafe see this trial as a joke.

It's because he got a place to stay in

Just try him in his absence. Boom, done, voetsek.

So refusing to be arrested is a crime but refusing to appear in court while in custody is not?

So you can refuse to appear in court while in custody? democracy e monate mos.
