Kwaito star Sipho Charles Ndlovu, better known as Brickz, was granted bail in the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court on Friday, pending an appeal against his rape conviction.
In July 2017, the same court found Brickz guilty of raping a 16-year-old at his home in November 2013.
On conviction, his R50 000 bail was revoked.
