Community activist, Natasha Gertse, expressed her dismay on
the postponement.
‘’I am very disappointed that the matter was postponed. So many
of us took off from work today, now we are left stranded until 11 February. We
will have to protest again and take off from work, it is so unfair. We have
handed over a petition top the prosecutor before court started and hope that
the bail will be denied and I know it will be denied as we received many
signatures.’’
