Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) boss has successfully applied to the Pretoria magistrate's court to grant him access to his teenage daughter for Christmas.
McBride is out on a bail of R10 000 on charges of child abuse with an alternative charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for allegedly beating up and strangling his daughter on August 19.
McBride pleaded with the court to grant him access to his daughter for the festive season.
Part of his bail conditions is that he has no contact with witnesses - including his 15-year-old daughter and some family members - but the court ruled on Tuesday that granting him access was harmless to the cause of justice.
The teenager alleges that McBride beat her up and strangled her on August 19. McBride is due back in court on December 18.
After the matter was adjourned‚ McBride refused to comment to SowetanLIVE.
