Andile Lungisa's case postponed


The assault case against two ANC councillors, Andile Lungisa and Gamalihleli Maqula, was postponed in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate court on Tuesday.

The charges against them stem from a violent brawl that broke out in a Council meeting last November.

Lungisa is accused of hitting DA councillor Rano Kayser over the head with a glass jug‚ while Maqula is accused of stabbing DA chief whip Werner Senekal in the back with a sharp object.

Following the incident the two handed themselves over to police and are currently out on bail of R1000 each.

Maqula is currently serving a sentence of correctional supervision for kidnapping and the assault of a teenage boy.

Lungisa was not in court but provided the state with a doctor's note.

The case was remanded to April 26 for the accused to consult with their attorneys and for further investigation.
