#FeesMustFall leader Mcebo Dlamini to spend festive season with Amampondo king after case postponed

#FeesMustFall campaign leader Mcebo Dlamini’s case was postponed by the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

Dlamini is facing charges of theft‚ assault‚ public violence and malicious damage to property in connection with student protests.

His case was postponed to January 18.

“The state proposed that we enter into a plea bargain. The case was then postponed to allow us to deliberate on the proposal‚” Dlamini said.

He said the state on Wednesday gave his legal representative all evidence it has against him.

He said if the defence and state fail to “find each other”‚ a trial date will be set.

Dlamini‚ a second year LLB student‚ said he has finished writing his final exams‚ which he found challenging.

“I was writing almost every day. I did not have space to breathe between exams.”

He said he would be spending the December holidays with the king of Amampondo in the Eastern Cape.

“They invited me to spend the festive season there and I am looking forward to that‚” Dlamini said.
