- David Siponono GASA, a banned man who is already serving a prison sentence for contravening his banning order, was sentenced in the Durban Regional Court on 4 October to a further six months' imprisonment for a similar offence.
David Gasa is house-arrested from 6 pm to 6 am on week nights, and was charged for being absent from his home at Umlazi between 6.05 pm and 7.15 pm on July 23.
