The Constitutional Court released the activist on R250 bail yesterday - saying there was no reason to keep him behind bars.
Khanyile - who was arrested during violent protests - approached the ConCourt to challenge the decisions by two lower courts to deny him bail.
Khanyile was granted R250 in the Constitutional Court after spending over 100 days in Westville Prison. #BonginkosiKhanyile pic.twitter.com/TjKJjmEio2
