Glenmore activist Velile Ben Mafani remains a free man, despite the prosecutor's asking for a warrant of arrest after he failed to appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Later explaining that he'd been in consultation with his ancestors, Mafani told Grocott's Mail in a telephone interview, I am still waiting for them (police) to come and arrest me. In fact I am even considering taking other steps because something else seems to be going on here.
He was appearing for plea and trial on a charge of malicious damage to property following the latest in his brick-throwing protest series.
Mafani regularly throws bricks through the a window of the high court in Grahamstown to attract attention to the plight of the residents of Glenmore, a poverty stricken settlement born of apartheid resettlement policies.
