State witness Det Sgt Siphosenkosi Shezi gave evidence in the case against brothers Dylan, 29, and Ned, 30, Govender, and Jeetendra Jaikissoon, 39, who all appeared before magistrate Irfan Khalil on a murder charge on Tuesday. Dylan also faces an attempted murder charge.
The appearance came as police minister Bheki Cele and KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala provided an update on Tuesday about the status of the violence in Phoenix, with Cele saying that 36 people had lost their lives. The brothers said they were concerned and went to check on the safety of the family, property and business. Dylan was armed with a gun and Ned had a stick.
In motivation for bail, the brothers said they wanted to save their family business, a road signs and graphic design company established in 2015, which also created five jobs. According to their statement, they work as joint managers for the branding company, which is located opposite their home in Palmview, Phoenix.
