Cape Town - Supporters stood firm outside the Bishop Lavis Magistrateâs Court on Monday, calling for the release of alleged underworld kingpin Nafiz Modack.
A group of supporters wearing masks which read âModack Groupâ carried placards calling for his release. They claim that Modackâs arrest is a plot against him for all the good he does.
Modack appeared alongside Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) member Sergeant Ashley Tabisher on corruption charges on Monday.
Modack is separately charged with conspiracy to commit murder after a hand grenade was thrown at the Bishop Lavis home of former Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear months before his assassination last year.
Nafiz Modack returned to court on Monday in preparation for a mega bail application.
In the Bishop Lavis leg of the court case, Modack is alleged to have corrupted an Anti-Gang Unit member for inside information on raids.
The matters will be consolidated into one big application in Blue Downs on 14 May.
