Calm has been restored in Fickburg, with the residents of Meqheleng expressing their relief that the eight police members implicated in Andries Tatane’s death were denied bail.

Tatane was beaten and shot by officers during a service delivery protest two weeks ago.

There were fears that chaos would break out should the policemen be released.

Protestors vowed to be back at court on the 2nd of June when the case resumes.
