  "account": "Three men appeared in the Durban Magistrates Court on Monday, charged with public violence, after a week-long protest against anti-immigration policies and a recent Constitutional Court ruling on asylum seekers. Sphelele Magolide Shinga, Wandile Nsimande, and Malizo Dzanibe were arrested outside the Home Affairs Durban Refugee Reception Centre by police. Colonel Robert Netshiunda stated that one of the men was on parole after serving a 25-year sentence for robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder. Prosecutors revealed that Nsimande had been out on parole and faced charges of public violence, contravening the Road Traffic Act, carrying a dangerous weapon, and failing to comply with police instructions. The court has postponed proceedings until Tuesday, with Public Order Police monitoring the situation.",
