Alleged 28s gang figure Ralph Stanfield was reportedly unhappy after being served dry bread for lunch at the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday.
Stanfield, his wife Nicole Johnson and 12 co-accused are standing trial on a range of charges linked to an alleged criminal enterprise known as “The Firm”.
The trial, which began earlier this month, involves allegations of organised criminal activity in Cape Town, including murder, attempted murder, extortion, fraud, robbery and firearms-related offences.
The State alleges that Stanfield and his co-accused were involved in several serious crimes. The accused have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, although two co-accused have pleaded guilty to charges relating to a separate shooting.
The matter continued on Wednesday, with evidence concerning an allegedly stolen BMW being examined in court. A security supervisor remained under cross-examination by the defence.
Stanfield and his co-accused remain before the court as the trial continues.
