Zandile Mafe was denied a bail application after her appeared in the Western Cape High Court on Monday. He vowed that he will continue to fight or he will take the matter up to the Constitutional Court if necessary.
He was arrested in January
following a fire at the Parliamentary precinct. The blaze also destroyed the
National Assembly building and sections of the Old Assembly Chamber.
Mafe is charged with
housebreaking with intent to commit terrorism and arson, and separate charges
of terrorism, arson and theft.
His application was dismissed
by Judge Daniel Thulare and Judge Constance Nziweni. Meanwhile, a third judge,
James Lekhuleni, added that he would have agreed to Mafe's release on bail.
