'My incarceration has placed severe emotional strain on myself as well as my family. The conditions in the cells are of a very bad nature and I fear I will contract other diseases and viruses should I not be released from custody.'
Johan Steyn, 38, appeared in Stellenbosch Magistrate's Court on an attempted murder charge after a video of a white bakkie driving over a security guard in Stellenbosch went viral on social media.
Steyn, from Kraaifontein, handed himself over to the police this week, and in a seven-page affidavit told the court his health was at risk in the cells. "My incarceration has placed severe emotional strain on myself as well as my family. The conditions in the cells are of a very bad nature and I fear I will contract other diseases and viruses should I not be released from custody."
