Johannesburg - Terrorism accused and leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA) in the West Rand Bruce Nimmerhoudt has cast doubt on the Stateâs evidence against him.
This was the damning ruling of Magistrate Annelie Africa in the Roodepoort Magistrateâs Court on friday when she lambasted the police for their shoddy work, especially their failure to provide the court with evidence that Nimmerhoudt was the author of the voice note that encouraged people to attack malls and kill those who âstand in their wayâ.
The court found that there was nothing in the police docket which was material for it to deny Nimmerhoudt bail.
