Meanwhile, a crowd was present outside court, with some saying Mboro must never be given bail. Others were Mboro’s supporters who said he was innocent and demanded that the court should set him free.

Gauteng police spokeswoman Colonel Noxolo Kweza said that five suspects were arrested on Monday night and will appear in the Palm Ridge Court in due course.

“They’re facing a variety of charges, including assault, handling a firearm recklessly that could endanger lives and property, rendering security services while not registered, malicious damage to property, and intimidation. A replica firearm and pangas have since been confiscated,” Kweza said.

She said one of the suspects was arrested for assaulting the station commander at Katlehong North Police Station when a group of people were demanding to deal with the local pastor outside the cop shop.

Kweza said this followed an incident where Mboro, his security personnel, and others stormed Matsediso Primary School on Monday and forcibly took two minor kids.

Meanwhile, the two other arrested suspects, the maternal grandmother and uncle have been released on a R1 000 bail each. Their matter has been postponed to 10 September.

The two are facing a charge of common assault and intimidation. They were released under strict bail conditions that they must not communicate with the suspects and should not go anywhere near the suspect’s house.
