- Story Text: Nelson Mandela's grandson appeared in court on Friday (August 21) after he was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl at a bar.
Mandela's grandson, who cannot be named until he enters a plea, will remain in custody until a bail application hearing.
Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Pindy Louw said outside court prosecutors viewed the allegation as a "schedule six offence" meaning the defendant had to show why he should be released on bail.
He will remain in the Johannesburg Correctional Services Centre until Tuesday (August 25). - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
