Magistrate Khumalo interjected: “Can you indulge me on what is it that is a matter of life and death (which makes him unavailable in December). What is the valid reason? Put it appropriately”.

Lashing out, Khumalo said: “When you proposed a date to me, have you not consulted? Already, I have made an order. You see? I am not inclined to change my order. That date should not have been proposed from the onset if you knew that your client would be unavailable.
“If your client is not available, a warrant of arrest will be authorised. You will have to see to it. The case stands down for December 11.”

At the time, Baloyi said the musician is shocked and has lost faith in the justice system.
“He’s devastated and he is at the time where he doesn’t understand what these charges are all about and why they crop up now. So, he is so disappointed with the justice system and how things are being done. It seems like men are given so much power who can bring down any man who is coming up and that becomes unfair to our justice system,” the SABC quoted Baloyi as saying.
