Malamulele – Sixty-five people arrested in connection with riots in Limpopo appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court, near Giyani, on Monday.

The matter was postponed to 15 January, said police spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi.

None of the accused was asked to plead to a charge of public violence, a Sapa correspondent reported.

Fifty-four of them were released on warnings, while the others remained in custody because they were illegal immigrants.

Mulaudzi said they would not be released until their physical addresses had been verified.
