Third time unlucky for Nkomazana�s bail bid

Bhekizwe Nkomazana has been denied bail twice by the Extension II Magistrate and the High Court, in the matter in which he is accused of concealing his boss’ death, impersonating him and going on a spending spree. In the last mention, Nkomazana’s new lawyer, Enock Mazonde had made it clear his client would again seek bail, but yesterday before regional magistrate Mokwadi Gabanagae, Mazonde was nowhere to be seen.

The vanishing act left the court with no choice but to extend Nkomazana’s remand warrant until July 24, 2017 where he will mention before the Broadhurst Magistrates Court. Gabanagae said the case could not continue in Mazonde’s absence. Nkomazana’s co-accused were also AWOL yesterday. “The accused will have to wait a little longer before his bail application is heard because I will also be away when the case returns. “This matter will mention before a Broadhurst magistrate.
