JOHANNESBURG - The State says it will oppose bail for all four suspects linked to the Wynberg Magistrates Court shooting.
Shireen Matthews, Abubaker Admas, Brian Booysen and Wanay Farao are accused of being behind what police believe was a revenge attack for the murder of a gang member.
The State argues that Matthews orchestrated the alleged hit on Vrygrond taxi operator Dingalomoya Chintso two weeks ago.
Adams is accused of being one of the shooters, while Booysen and Farao are believed to have supplied and helped smuggle the guns inside the court building.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said, "Their case has been postponed to May 9 for them to obtain legal representation, and they have indicated that they want to apply for bail, which we will oppose. We are charging them under Schedule 6 for premeditated murder."
