Court grants Corrie Pretorius R20k bail

The high court set aside the June ruling and set him free on bail of R20 000.
He was captured in a video assaulting a 16-year-old boy following an argument over the use of seasoning at a local fast food outlet
Pretorius also allegedly pointed a firearm at the teenager during the assault.
The case is expected to resume on Friday after his previous lawyer failed to attend court on Tuesday.
