Chaos erupted when Joseph Ntshongwana appeared in the Durban magistrates court for his bail hearing.

Like a man being led to the gallows, he howled as five policemen wrestled him into the dock. Clutching a dog-eared Bible, the burly 1.84cm, 95kg former rugby player with soiled trousers sobbed and pleaded: “No, no, I don’t want to appear.”

Attempts to placate him and get him to sit down failed.
