Pudumong-A 25 year-old man was denied bail by Taung Magistrate Court after he was subsequently arrested for assaulting his own father.

Mzwandile Nkomo,25 from Choseng village, near Pudumong was denied bail even thou his father pleaded with the court to release him on bail and he also offered to pay bail for him.

Franscis Batlhalihe Nkomo,50 opened a GBH assault against his son, Mzwandile after he allegedly assaulted him.

“This is not for the first time being assaulted by my only son. We stay together in a house and the fight started after he asked for money to buy a cellphone” Nkomo said.

Nkomo said Mzwadile becomes unruly most of the time when he is drunk.

“He assaulted me with a iron stick and I ended in hospital. I would like to pledge with him to stop assaulting me as I love him as my son” said heartbroken Nkomo.

The case was postponed until the 24 February 2014 for next appearance and the court said that will be risky to release Mzwandile on bail as he might abuse his father while on bail.

“I offered to pay bail for him after I felt the pain of him staying in custody. He is my son and I want to stay with him as no one want him” Nkomo outlines.

Mzwandile Nkomo is unwanted and no one in his family or extended ones want anything to do with him because of his behaviour.

The case of GBH assault was opened against him and the latter will remain in custody.

Police investigations continue.-TDN
