Durban protests: Man gets bail despite criminal history and ‘judges must f**k off’ remark
Wandie Nsibane was rearrested shortly after his release over alleged breaches of his parole conditions.
Wandile Nsibande, a man arrested during anti-illegal immigration protests in Durban, South Africa, has been granted bail despite his criminal history and a disrespectful remark directed at the judiciary. The Durban Magistrate's Court released him on R1,000 bail on October 16, 2026. However, he was rearrested shortly after due to alleged parole violations.
Nsibande's co-defendants, Sphelele "Magolide" Shinga and Malizo Dzanibe, have also been released on bail. The state argued that his release could endanger public safety, enable further offenses, or intimidate witnesses. Nsibande's defense contested these claims, presenting video footage showing him not resisting arrest and questioning the conduct of the investigating officer.
