The high court in Cape Town is hearing Zandile Mafe's application to review and set aside magistrate Zamekile Mbalo’s decision to refer him for 30 days' observation at Valkenberg Hospital.

The video could not be loaded.

This followed a report handed in by the state which stated Mafe had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Mafe is accused of setting parliament on fire earlier this month.
