Alleged Parliament arsonist, Zandile Mafe, will be referred to an institution in the Eastern Cape for psychiatric observation.
Mafe briefly appeared in the Western Cape High Court as
part of the court's pre-trial proceedings. Mafe had earlier refused to be
admitted to the Valkenberg Psychiatric Hospital in Cape Town.
The state indicated on Friday that it is ready to proceed
with the trial as soon as Mafe's 30 days of observation are over.
Judge Nathan Erasmus will make a final order on his mental
state on March 28.
A large part of the parliament building was left in ruins
after a fire broke out in the National Assembly more than a year ago.
