Alleged unrest instigator Ngizwe Mchunu back in court
The bail hearing of former KwaZulu-Natal radio presenter Ngizwe Mchunu will continue in Gauteng on Thursday.
He's accused of being one of the instigators of the civil unrest earlier this month.
Mchunu, who handed himself over to police last week, has been charged with one count of inciting public violence and two counts of contravening Disaster Management Act regulations.
The State's opposing bail on the belief that he might be a flight risk.
To support their case, prosecutors played four video clips of Mchunu in a Randburg court on Wednesday.

The National Prosecuting Authority's Gauteng spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said: "It is not in the interest of justice that he be released on bail in that releasing him on bail would undermine public order or public peace."
Meanwhile, former fees must fall activist Bonginkosi Khanyile, who was among those who went to court in solidarity with Mchunu, has called for more support for the former DJ.
