He shouted that he did burn Parliament, that he wanted Parliament to be moved to Bloemfontein or Pretoria, and that he would set fire to the building again if it did not move. He also made anti-white and anti-Semitic remarks.

The outburst took place in the Western Cape High Court, where Mafe was appearing for a pre-trial hearing. Judge Nathan Erasmus, who knows the outcome of the assessment, didn’t want to interrupt Mafe’s outburst.

Mafe’s outburst was met with mixed reactions. Some people believe that he is mentally unfit to stand trial, while others believe that he is simply trying to avoid punishment. The case is still ongoing, and it is not yet clear what will happen to Mafe.

Here is a transcript of some of Mafe’s shouts in court:

• “I did burn Parliament.”
• “I want Parliament to be moved to Bloemfontein or Pretoria.”
• “If Parliament is not moved, I will set fire to it again.”
• “White people must get out of this land.”
• “The Jews must get out of this land.”

Mafe’s outburst was widely reported in the media, and it has raised a number of questions about the security of Parliament and the state of mental health care in South Africa.
