#OutsourcingMustFall activist Vusi Mahlangu granted bail

#OutsourcingMustFall activist Vusi Mahlangu was today granted R600 bail by the Mthatha Magistrate's Court.

The case was postponed to July 11 for further investigation.

Xhobani Security Services and Red Alert Cleaning workers who supported Mahlangu since he was arrested paid for his bail.

They all contributed R10 towards his bail after it emerged that the money already prepared for his bail had not been brought to court.

Mahlangu stood with his hands on his back, smiling and nodding to the workers at the public gallery.

After Mthatha magistrate Thukela MacPauzin delivered the verdict, the workers left the court, singing struggle songs and pro-Mahlangu songs in front of the Mthatha Magistrate's Court.

The state proposed a R1000 bail with Mahlangu's lawyer Bayethe Maswazi saying he had no income and proposed the bail be set at R500.

MacPauzin set it at R600.
