Nuruddin Tembe, 53, was granted bail of R1 000 but banned from going near the Woodlands area or Mitchell's Moslem Butchery. He faces charges of attempted murder after he allegedly pranked a 17-year-old laaitie into drinking acid from a Sprite bottle on 11 May which resulted in the victim being admitted to the ICU and put on life support.

But now, the court has heard Tembe that was spotted breaking his bail conditions by moving goods around Woodlands, and locals say enough is enough.

Dissatisfied

Lentegeur Community Policing (CPF) sub-forum chairperson Raafiqah Ganger told the Daily Voice that the community feel that Tembe should not be allowed in the area.
