The court appearance of eight police members arrested after the death of Free State resident Andries Tatane was delayed in Ficksburg this morning.

The suspects will apply for bail – something protesting residents of the Meqheleng Township are opposed to. The crowd of demonstrators showed their support for Tatane’s family and continued to denounce a lack of service delivery.

Tatane was beaten and shot during a service delivery protest almost two weeks ago. The case was delayed because the police order police members had to be brought in from the Bethlehem cells.
