Three Ethiopian nationals in South Africa face attempted murder charges

Three Ethiopian nationals appeared before the Durban Magistrates’ Court in South Africa to face charges of attempted murder and public violence. The individuals, identified as Kebede Belachew Basore (38), Getachew Tirikaso (aged 48–55), and Wodaje Girma (29), were arrested following an alleged assault on a South African man during protests in Durban's central business district on October 8. Magistrate Ashin Singh presided over the hearing. The court decided to postpone the bail hearing until October 28. This delay was granted to allow authorities time to further verify the accused individuals' immigration status and personal details, as reported by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).
