This was concluded on Thursday in the Western Cape High Court after he was held at Fort England Psychiatric Hospital in Makhanda for a 30-day evaluation. Without disclosing the diagnosis of Mafe’s mental evaluation, Judge Nathan Erasmus says his legal team have been consulted over the report.
During his court appearance, Mafe threatened to burn (Parliament) ‘even more if it does not move to Pretoria.’
He said that he burned it intentionally. ‘Me, Christmas Zandile Mafe, I will burn it even more if it does not move to Bloemfontein or Pretoria. The service protest which is happening outside is about my release. It must move from the racist right-wing DA. The DA must not be in the Parliament,” Mafe yelled as court got underway.’

As per IOL, Mafe could not follow court proceedings. The matter has been postponed to the Western Cape High Court on 10 August.
Until then, Judge Erasmus ordered that Mafe be provided with the health and services he needs ‘given his medical condition’, adding that he should not be held in the general population, prison, or correctional facility.
