Hawks spokesperson Zinzi Hani said at the time, Felix was apprehended by the City of Cape Town’s Special Investigating Unit (SIU) before the matter was referred to the Hawks.
“Felix appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates Court for the illegal possession of a firearm. He was granted bail. He disappeared and never attended court again. His non-attendance led to the court issuing a warrant for his arrest, and subsequently, his arrest today.”
Hani said Felix would remain in custody until he appears in court again on 17 July.
