Events in court

 The news team was greeted by a semi-naked man only wearing leather underwear and some sort of cover over his shoulders. Below we capture the events as they unfolded

 10.am
The village magistrate court is packed to capacity and there is confusion over which cases should be heard first. One police officer blocks members of the Bakgatla tribe clad in mateisi and leather attire from entering the court saying their case will be heard at a later stage. Afterwards he gives up as people continue to get inside the court. Another officer announces that people with other personal issues go downstairs to another court where they will find the presiding magistrate. Some members of the regiments continue helping police to move the furniture around. Later another announcement is made to the effect that the magistrate has said she wants her court to dispose of her cases.
