The parents of a 3-year-old toddler from Elands Bay, who died more than a year and a half ago, appeared in the Piketberg Magistrates’ Court on Monday 26 September, when it became clear there may be more to his death than an alleged accident at home.
The bail application of a police officer accused of gunning down his girlfriend in front of her family has continued in the Piketberg Magistrate's Court.
Residents of Strandfontein in Cape Town have objected to a murder-accused former police officer from Piketberg relocating to their community should he be granted bail.
'We are already living with crime in Strandfontein. We have crime in our area and we don't want more. Smit's face has been plastered in all media. He will not be able to hide where he stays.'
