A man accused of terrorist-related activities in Durban and having links to the Islamic State has had his bail conditions relaxed, allowing him to travel out of the country.

Senior state prosecutor Mahen Naidu told the court that Hoomer's lawyer, Jimmy Howse, had requested that his client's bail conditions be relaxed to allow him to travel to China. Naidu emphasised that the state would allow Hoomer to travel only if certain criteria were met.

"This relaxation will apply only until the matter is heard in the high court. Another application will then need to be made should he want to continue to travel." "We agreed the accused should report to their nearest police station once every second week," he said. TimesLIVE previously reported about an affidavit disposed by
