ANA reports that a member of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) charged with unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition briefly appeared in the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
The case against William Nyenyane, 29, was postponed to 9 February. He previously denied the charge against him and claimed the police planted a firearm on him when he was arrested on 6 January, on a separate charge of murder. Nyenyane was apparently arrested at Lonmin’s Hossy shaft in Bapong. He is also facing a separate charge of murder, as he is one of the 14 Marikana men accused of hacking Sabata Chale to death in Marikana on 8 December 2016, allegedly over the allocation of low cost (RDP) houses at Marikana West Extension 2. They are due to appear in the North West High Court on 19 February for trial.
