Ndimande v S (BA01/24) [2024] ZAMPMHC 16 (15 February 2024)
The High Court dismissed a bail appeal, holding the appellant failed to show that release was in the interests of justice and that witness interference risk remained.
Sono v S (A124/2020) [2020] ZAGPPHC 288 (26 June 2020)
The court found that the appellant failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances justifying release on bail. The evidence indicated a strong case against him, with prior convictions and pending cases of a similar nature. The appellant did not address the allegations or pending matters in detail, and there were credible reports of threats and intimidation directed at the investigating officer and her commander. These factors, considered together, led the court to conclude that bail should be refused in the interests of justice.
