'New facts' emerge in Kessie Nair's k-word case, court hears
24 October 2018
There are "new facts" in the racism case against Kessie Nair, the former Durban councillor who called President Cyril Ramaphosa the k-word in a viral Facebook video, the Verulam Magistrate's Court heard on Wednesday.
Nair's lawyer Chris Gounden asked the court to provisionally adjourn the matter to October 31 as he wished to bring a new bail application based on the "new facts".
Nair, who has been charged with multiple counts of crimen injuria and two of incitement of public violence, was denied bail last Wednesday.
When Gounden was asked what those "new facts" were, he said he would disclose them at a later stage.
