The members of the SAPS Anti-Gang Unit in Cape Town, accused of murder and other crimes, may soon return to work in Manenberg.  

This is after the Western Cape High Court on Monday agreed to relax the bail condition preventing the 11 members from entering the area.  

They were granted bail on 30 January, after previously being denied bail. 

The mentioned bail condition specifically noted that the accused could not enter Manenberg in their personal and/or official capacities until the court case had concluded. 

The management of the Western Cape SAPS approached the court last week, arguing that the officers were needed in the fight against gang activity.

According to court documents from 9 February, that bail condition was “discharged only in respect of the order/condition that the appellants may not enter Manenberg in their official capacities”.   

Meanwhile, the remaining bail conditions, including that the accused may not enter Manenberg for any personal reasons, will remain in place.  

The other bail conditions include that they may not directly or indirectly interfere with or interact with the witnesses in the case.  

The group faces charges in connection with the death of an alleged gangster, Wade Price, in December. 

The matter returns to court on 5 March.
