King Khoisan SA, who has been protesting outside the Union Buildings for more than three years, was arrested for dealing in dagga.
He believes his arrest was a ploy to remove him from the national key point and silence his protest.
King Khoisan SA, who has been growing dagga at the site for more than a year, says the arrest will not deter him.
King Khoisan SA, who has been staging a sit-in protest at the Union Buildings for more than three years now, believes his arrest is a ploy to remove him from the national key point and silence his protest.
On Wednesday, Khoisan SA and two others were arrested by a large contingent of police officers at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
More than a dozen police officers, including the K9 Unit and a forensic team, were part of the operation.
At the time, the police claimed four people were arrested for dealing in dagga, the illegal cultivation of dagga on public property and failing to wear a mask after being instructed to do so by a law enforcement officer.
However, on Thursday morning, only Khoisan SA and Donovan Manuel appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court, facing a charge of dealing in dagga. A woman who was arrested with them had the charges withdrawn against her.
