A teenager was stabbed to death during a heated argument over a knife he had found at a municipal dumping site on the outskirts of Addo in the Eastern Cape.

Leonard Davids‚ 15‚ was allegedly stabbed in the neck during an argument with his 14-year-old friend‚ who cannot be named as he is a minor‚ on Thursday morning.

The fight erupted when the two boys had an argument over who was going to claim the knife they had found on a municipal dump in Sunland between Addo town and Kirkwood.

By Friday morning‚ the 14-year-old had been arrested after his parents handed him over to police.

Davids‚ who is from Jansenville‚ had been staying with relatives on a farm outside Sunland since last year.

Davids’ aunt‚ Anna Davids‚ 40‚ said the family was devastated by the attack.

“They are best friends and we do not understand why he [the 14-year-old] would [allegedly] do this. They always go to the tip to find items that they then sell to another man. They do it every day. After the stabbing‚ two people who live near the tip witnessed what happened and ran to call me.”

Magistrate John Baloyi made the decision in the Roodepoort Magistrates Court on Friday. He said the High Court had granted the musician’s leave to appeal the rape conviction and‚ as a result‚ granted bail.

As part of the bail conditions Baloyi said Brickz would need to hand in his travel documents‚ is not allowed to leave Joburg or be seen near an airport. He will also have to report to the Jabulani Police Station twice a week.

Bail was initially set at R50‚000 but Baloyi said the amount had increased to R80‚000. Family outside the courtroom told TshisaLIVE they had no idea how they would raise the additional R30‚000.

Brickz was found guilty of raping a relative and was sentenced to 15 years in prison by Baloyi last year.

In March Brickz told the court he understood there was a concern he would abscond‚ but he had no intention of running away.

He has always maintained his innocence and has said the “truth will come out.”

“I have made an oath to myself that I will bring myself to this court to make sure that this matter comes to an end‚ so that it also brings me closure. I don’t see how it will be so easy for me to just decide to abscond when I’m getting much closer to the truth.”

He has also been taking courses in prison.

“I’ve taken each and every course that has come way in prison in a mission to better myself.”

Kaizer Chiefs utility player Joseph Molangoane has stressed the importance of claiming three points from their Absa Premiership meeting Chippa United this weekend.

Amakhosi will host the Chilli Boys at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue their chase on log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

Molangoane, who arrived at Naturena at the start of last season from the Port Elizabeth-based club, believes not much has changed since Vladislav Heric took over from Teboho Moloi, and is under no illusion of what to expect from his former teammates.
