Alleged July unrest instigator Bonginkosi Khanyile’s court case delayed again

There was another delay in the case of accused July unrest instigator Bonginkosi Khanyile in the Durban Regional Court on Friday.

Khanyile made a brief appearance with his case scheduled to proceed to trial.

During the previous appearance on 16 September 2022, Khanyile changed his legal representatives although the State said it was ready to proceed.

He told the court on Friday that he wanted more details on the charges he was facing before the trial proceeded: “The papers they have given us are almost silent papers. We went in and said the charge sheet you have given us says nothing. It more or less says you are charging [me] with nothing, can we get further particulars?”

The matter will be in court on 1 November 2022.

The former fees must fall activist said delays in his case were affecting his academics and professional career.

Khanyile said travelling between Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal for his case was costing him a lot.

While working for the Ekurhuleni Municipality and studying at Wits University, he said the delays in the matter affected both.

“It is a struggle especially to balance work and to balance my studies, because the work I am doing needs almost all my time. I [also] deal with the needs of the public,” he said.
