Johannes AJ Lubbe, who is facing charges of attempted murder and possession of firearms after shooting a taxi driver in what was reported to be an alleged road rage incident outside the Ruimsig Boulevard Shopping Centre, has been out on bail since October last year after being granted bail of R10 000, accompanied by very strict conditions.
The Randburg Magistrates’ Court granted the accused bail on the grounds that his lawyer argued that he was in dire need of medical and psychiatric treatment.
In the interim, he was warned to refrain from any form of violence and not leave his place of residence as stated in his affidavit, unless he is being treated at a medical facility or is at work.

The National Prosecuting Authority’s regional communications manager, Phindi Mjonondwane confirmed that Lubbe is being supervised by a correctional officer to ensure that he complies with his bail conditions.
She further stated that he will appear in court again on 26 March.
This is a developing story.
