Andile Lungisa granted R10k bail
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
Jailed African National Congress (ANC) councillor Andile Lungisa has been granted bail in the Grahamstown High Court pending his application for leave to appeal his two-year jail sentence to the Constitutional Court.

Grahamstown High Court judge Motilal Rugunanan granted Lungisa bail of R10 000 on Friday.
The Nelson Mandela Bay councillor began serving his sentence late week after the Supreme Court Appeal dismissed his application for leave to appeal his sentence.
The SCA judges who made the ruling are now reportedly demanding an apology from Lungisa, who criticised their decision in an interview prior to his incarceration.

The ANC councillor was sentenced to three years in jail with one year suspended for assaulting Democratic Alliande (DA) councillor Rano Kayser during a brawl in council in 2016.
"He will remain the resident at the address specified to the court. He will hand over to the court any travel document. He will report in person at the Kabega Park Police Station on Mondays and Fridays," says the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Anelisa Ngcakani.
