Nhantumbo v S (A21 / 2023) [2023] ZAMPMBHC 26 (10 May 2023)
High Court appeal against refusal of bail dismissed. The court found a strong case, weak local ties, and a real risk that the appellant would evade trial.
Khoza v S (A124/14) [2014] ZAGPPHC 334 (10 June 2014)
The court found that the magistrate correctly considered all relevant evidence, including the appellant's lack of residence and family ties in South Africa, his ability to cross borders undetected, and the absence of an extradition treaty with Mozambique. The seriousness of the offences and the risk of absconding outweighed the appellant's undertakings and his brother's assurances. The respondent discharged its onus to show that release on bail was not in the interests of justice. There was no misdirection by the court a quo, and the appeal was dismissed.
