‘SHE CALLED HER MOM THE K-WORD’

WYNBERG Court murder co-accused Wanay Farao’s bail bid took a moerse knock when her family said they don’t want her after calling her eie ma ’n ‘k***** vrou’.

Farao joined co-accused Shireen Matthews, Abubaker Adams, Brian Booysen and Vuyisani Zengethwa at the Wynberg Magistrates Court, where they are charged with the premeditated murder of former taxi owner Dingalomoya Cintso in a shocking attack in the same building on 8 April of this year.

She and alleged mastermind Matthews brought bail applications on Tuesday, but Farao got a rude awakening when her mom’s partner and uncle said she is not welcome at their homes.

Farao, who is alleged to be the gun smuggler, said she is “fortunate to enjoy the support of her mother and family, who want to see her released on bail”.

However, in an affidavit by her mother’s partner, he said that she had not been staying with them for the past three years.

The court documents read: “Wanay Farao is very rude to me and to my wife. I still remember when she was calling my wife a ‘k***** vrou’, disrespecting her. I do not want her here again, not at this house.”

Also in an affidavit, her oom said that when she used to live with them, she would come home late, was rude and worked as a sex worker.

At the time of her arrest, she was on the run with her boyfriend and co-accused Booysen.

The court documents say the motive for Cintso’s murder was due to the belief that he was responsible for the murder of an alleged Junky Funky Kids gang leader Ashley “Essie” Phillips on 30 January outside of the Brackenfell Police station.

The documents further read that should Matthews be released on bail she would evade her trial, disturb the public order and endanger the safety of the public due to having a long list of other charges against her dating back to November 2017.

Farao said she’s able to pay bail of R2 000 and Matthews can pay R5 000. 

The case was postponed to 9 July and the accused remain in custody.
