THE Cape High Court has refused to grant bail to People Against Gangsterism and Drugs leader Abdus-Salaam Ebrahim, arrested in December. Ebrahim, 41, is facing charges of murder — including the public lynching of gang boss Rashaad Staggie in August 1996 – public violence, intimidation, attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, extortion and conspiracy to murder. Judge Nathan Erasmus said Ebrahim’s release would undermine and jeopardize the public peace.
