Woodlands residents believe the manager of a local butchery who gave a 17-year-old boy acid to drink should not have been released on bail.
Police arrested 53-year-old Nuruddin Tembe on Wednesday after he allegedly gave the teenager drain acid to drink on Sunday.
Fayaad Norton is still receiving treatment in the hospital after ingesting the liquid.

Mitchell’s Moslem Butchery manager, Nuruddin Tembe, was granted one thousand rand bail in the Mitchells Plain Magistrates Court on Thursday after appearing for attempted murder.
Tembe is accused of giving Norton drain acid to drink from a cold drink bottle.
Community leader Raafiqah Ganger, who joined Woodlands residents at the court, says Tembe should be behind bars.
“Because at the end of the day, he’s a danger to everybody in the community. So our disappointment is with the justice system, but if that’s the procedure, then that’s what we have to follow.”
The matter was postponed to 12 August 2025 for further investigation.
