COMMUNITY SAFETY
TWO men accused of robbing a shop owner at gunpoint, will remain behind bars after their bail appeals failed in the Western Cape High Court.
Chumani Thyulu, 21, and Bongo Vula, 22, were arrested on February 22 and are facing charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances, and the unlawful possession of a firearm.
Thyulu also faces a third charge of unlawful possession of ammunition.
After their arrest, the pair - both of whom had a clean criminal record - applied for bail before the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court where their applications were denied.

The Chinese Embassy spokesperson’s remarks on Lai Ching-te’s separatist narrative
