Case against Free State mayor and co-accused postponed | News Article

The case against the mayor of the cash strapped Masilonyana Local Municipality in the Free State, Dimakatso Modise, and her four co-accused was postponed to the 26th of May in the Theunissen Magistrate's Court today.

At her next court appearance she will be formally added to an existing case.  The group is charged with inciting violence after protests that rocked the two townships of Makeleketla and Masilo in 2021. 

During the violent protests a house belonging to the parents of then mayor, Kunatu Stephen Koalane , was set alight. Police spokesperson, Stephen Thakeng, says at least 50 people attended the court proceedings.

Modise and her co-accused, which includes a former speaker, councillor and office bearers are currently out on bail.
