warrants of arrests for a Nyanga murder and double attempted murder which was
issued against the perpetrator. He added that further warrants issued were for
a Mfuleni case of possession of an unlicensed firearm and an Ocean View matter,
impersonating a police official.
Makalala will remain
behind bars, and intends to apply for bail when he appears again in court on Thursday.
The matter came a day

postponed to 28 December
