CAPE TOWN – Nelson Mandela Bay African National Congress (ANC) councilor Andile Lungisa said he had gone to court to request an extension of the bond.
Lungisa has until Thursday to report to Correctional Services to begin serving his effective two-year prison sentence for assault with intent to cause serious bodily harm.
He was convicted of assault after breaking a glass water jug on the head of Democratic Alliance (DA) councilor Rano Kayser during a heated council meeting in 2016.
Lungisa’s appeal of his conviction was recently dismissed by the Supreme Court of Appeals.
He told Eyewitness News that his legal team had requested to extend his bond.
“The legal team has requested bail. They are awaiting confirmation of the latest charge.”
Lungisa said he was also waiting for the Constitutional Court date to appeal the matter.
