The Ficksburg community has expressed shock at the grating of bail to the eight police members accused of the fatal assault of protester.

Andries Tatane died after allegedly being shot by police during a service delivery protest last month.

Community leader Sam Matyane says the family was not even aware that the men had appealed yesterday in the Free State High Court against the Ficksburg Regional Court’s refusal to grant them bail.

The suspects were released after posting a R1 000 each.
