Some community members who have been attending the long bail application process have expressed mixed opinions as to why Meek should be allowed to go home.
Many have said she must stay behind bars for her safety, a point that was also shared by investigating officer Nceba Diko.
However, her lawyer, Novel Naidoo, has argued that society’s views are fickle and can change at a whim.
The court has been presented with evidence that placed Jayden-Lee in the Fleurhof apartment he shared with his mother before his death.
Judgment is expected to be handed down this week.
