Mthetwa v S (A20/2022)
Mthetwa v S (A20/2022) [2022] ZAGPJHC 330 (11 May 2022)
The court found that the appellant failed to present genuine new facts in his second bail application. The alleged delay in investigation was not supported by the record, as the case was ready for trial and had been set down. The appellant's personal circumstances and assertions of being a changed person did not constitute new facts as required by law. The magistrate did not err in refusing bail, and there was no basis for the appeal court to interfere with the decision. The interests of justice did not warrant admission to bail, and the appeal was dismissed.
