The 49-year old has been charged with assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and pointing of a firearm after he allegedly assaulted a 16-year-old boy at a fish and chips shop in a small Limpopo town, Grobersdal, apparently over the use of  seasoning. The court will render judgment of the bail application on Wednesday.
