�Thieving� gardener seeks bail yet again :: Mmegi Online

After being denied bail twice by the Extension II Magistrate and the High Court respectively, Bhekizwe Nkomazana, a gardener accused of swindling his late employer of over P3 million will once again consider seeking bail.

Nkomazana’s new lawyer, Enock Mazonde, made his intentions clear before Regional Magistrate Mopati Gabanagae yesterday. “We intend to apply for bail after familiarising ourselves with proceedings that led to my client being denied bail. Even though the last application was turned down, we are still allowed by the law to apply for bail,” he said. Nkomazana will appear next week where the application for bail is expected to be argued.

The state alleges that Nkomazana, together with Letlhogonolo Makgane (a lawyer), Billy Molefe, Motlalepula Molefe, on or about February 5, 2016 at or near Senamela Sekga Attorneys in Gaborone, fraudulently obtained P3.5 million from Leonisa Investments (Pty) Ltd duly represented by Benny Thomas.
