Brown, who was initially due to remain in custody until 13 June, was granted £5 million bail (approximately R120,525,350.00) by a London court on Wednesday.
The judge reportedly ordered Brown to pay the amount as a security fee — a financial guarantee to ensure he returns to court.

His next court appearance in London is scheduled for 20 June.

Friends and colleagues pay tribute to TV-film star Presley Chweneyagae
PRETORIA - The passing of Oscar-winning actor Presley Chweneyagae has left a void in the South African entertainment industry and among fans worldwide. The 40-year-old actor, affectionately known as "Cobra", died unexpectedly last week. A wave of tributes and memories followed on social media. A formal memorial service at the State Theatre in Pretoria brought together friends, family, colleagues, and industry insiders to honour Chweneyagae and his legacy. Attendees shared heartfelt memories, emotional tributes and stirring performances that celebrated Presley's impactful career. Actress Terry Pheto, who starred alongside Presley in her debut film, Tsotsi, recounted their early days working together. 'We were just kids back then, full of dreams,' she said. 'Presley carried the weight of our story with an intensity that took everyone's breath away. His brilliance propelled my career to unimaginable heights. Being part of Tsotsi opened doors I didn't even know existed. I'll never forget during the Oscar press tour when a journalist asked Presley if he would consider changing his name to make it easier for Hollywood, without hesitation, he said, 'If Hollywood can say Arnold Schwarzenegger, they can say Presley Chweneyagae.'' Renowned film director Gavin Hood praised Chweneyagae's dignity, decency, and humanity. 'Presley showcased South African talent to the world,' Hood said. 'He walked into darkness and found light, demonstrating what South Africans can do when they collaborate. He embodied the spirit of resilience and excellence. Rest in peace, Presley.' Hood emphasised how the actor's performances reflected the potential of South African storytelling. 'He showed the world not only what our cinema could be but what we as a nation are capable of when we unite.' The memorial served as a testament to Presley Chweneyagae's impact and the deep admiration he garnered among his peers. As the industry and fans mourn the loss, his legacy lives on through his unforgettable performances and the doors he opened for future generations of South African artists. By Tshenolo Khaile
