Seshego – Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Ward 10 Councillor Jacob Seshoka – accused of burglary and stock theft – has been remanded in police custody.
Seshoka appeared in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo on Tuesday, where his bail matter was adjourned to Friday, (12 January 2023).
Commenting on the matter, ActionSA on Wednesday said it, “welcomes the ruling at the Seshego Magistrate’s Court to have EFF Councillor Jacob Seshoka remanded in police custody until the formal application of his bail on Friday… along with his co-accused”.
ActionSA added: “Considering the gravity of the alleged crime, this a victory for the community of Moletjie and Bloodriver.
“In the interest of justice, we applaud the courts for keeping him detained.
“We are of the firm belief that a hardened criminal like him, who stands accused of a schedule 5 offense, should not be allowed to return to the community.”
Seshoka was allegedly found in possession of stolen firearms and ammunition when he was arrested.
The EFF councillor was arrested on 28 December 2023 in Bloodriver in connection with a burglary and stock theft from the Polokwane Police Station.
ActionSA said: “During this time, we note the deafening silence from the EFF which, less than a year ago, swore Seshoka into office- promising the residents of ward 10 a leader that will provide lasting solutions to their problems.
“To date, they have failed to do so, instead exacerbated their problems by posting a criminal mastermind as its leader.”
