A man applied for a bail application after allegedly threatening to blow up his girlfriend with a gas cylinder.

He says that he was told all prisoners would be let out of jail for Christmas.

Randall Erasmus, 26 of Lotus River appeared in the Wynberg
Magistrate’s court yesterday.

He demanded to be given bail, because he had been in custody for six months.

He is facing charges of intimidation and assault, according to the Cape Argus.

It is believed that Erasmus locked his girlfriend up in her shop. He tied up Ayesha Sonday-Liberty and an unidentified assistant and threatened to detonate a 19kg gas cylinder.

The case has been postponed until January for a formal bail application.
