Khanyile faces several charges -  including possession of explosives and public violence.

He's suggested the State has no case against him.


"So I'm feeling very confident, and you must remember - one got a bail of R250 - so you can tell from the amount of the bail whether I'm guilty or not guilty," he said.


He appeared in the Durban Magistrate's Court today - where the case was postponed to May for the finalisation of his pre-trial conference.  


Earlier this month, Khanyile was granted bail of R250 by the Constitutional Court after lower courts in KZN denied him bail on separate occasions -resulting in  him spending more than 100 days at the Westville Prison.
