The eight men who appeared in court on Wednesday, after warrants were issued for their arrests, were Anthony Christopher Van Der Watt, Ricardo Maarman, Typhyenne Jantjies, Bevan Cedrick Ezaus, Bradley De Bula, Kashief Hansloo, Rowendall Franklyn Stevens and Jason Maits.
They face the same overarching Prevention of Organised Crime Act charge as the other accused. It alleges they worked as members of the 27s, or with the gang, to take control of lucrative opportunities across Cape Town, including control of the doors to its nightclubs.
