An urgent bail hearing of alleged Parliament arsonist, Zandile Christmas Mafe, is expected to be heard in the High Court in Cape Town on Saturday morning.

Zandile Christmas Mafe, a suspect accused of breaking into Parliament when the fire started, appears in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court.Mafe startedHe was arrested for the blaze which gutted parts of Parliament earlier this month.

This week, the NPA argued for the accused to be referred to the psychiatric hospital for mental observation following a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila says, “The NPA can confirm that it has received a notice of motion for an urgent application for bail at the High Court of South Africa, Western Cape division for Zandile Christmas Mafe.”Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema says negligence was the main cause of the recent fire that gutted the National Assembly buildings at Parliament.

He says the arrest of the so-called suspect, Zandile Mafe, is being used as a scapegoat to divert attention from government’s negligence. “Do you think in your rightful mind, a person would burn Parliament and then goes and sleep next to where you have committed a crime… there’s no such thing. So I think more than anything guys, it’s negligence. They’ve not maintained Parliament, you may find out the rats have eaten the cables, that’s why it started burning from the roof and there was a spark and that spark caused the fire,” says Malema.

Racial profiling is also practised by State agencies and South African courts. I doubt Zandile would've been arrested had he been of a different race... Considering the lack of evidence that the State has but because Zandile is Black, they believe that he did it. ZandileMafe
