The leader of the vigilante group Operation Dudula, Nhlanhla ‘Lux’ Dlamini, has been granted bail of R1 500 by the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court.
The state has referred to the Operation Dudula leader as Ntlantla ‘Lux’ Mohlauhi. The charge sheet listed his name as different to Nhlanhla Dlamini, which is how he is publicly known.
Nhlanhla Lux, who heads a movement which seeks to drive out all foreigners who came to look for a job in South Africa, appeared before the court on Monday morning following his arrest last week on charges of malicious damage to property, theft and burglary.
Addressing the court, the state prosecutor said Mohlauli is facing charges of housebreaking with intent to steal and malicious damage to property.
The state asked the court to order that he doesn’t make any contact with the complainant, Victor Ramerafe, and that he hand over his passport to the investigating officer.
The case has been postponed to May 27 for further investigation.
