The Lobatse High Court on Thursday dismissed an urgent application for bail pending trial of former Zimbabwe Defence Force soldier, Limukani Moyo. Moyo is charged with 15 counts of obtaining by false pretences and a single count of unlawfully remaining in Botswana.

Moyo’s urgent application was dismissed by the Lobatse High Court Judge, Jennifer Dube after state prosecutors argued that if the applicant is granted bail, the immigration laws of the land would take effect and he would be deported immediately.

Prosecution further stated that if he were deported, they would have difficulty in ensuring that he appears before court for trial. They stated that the applicant has proved to be an elusive person, who could simply escape the reach of authorities by using various traveling documents like he has done in the present case. Prosecution said that their investigations revealed that the applicant has two passports bearing his names being passport number BN133560 bearing his names as Limukani Moyo and his occupation is reflected as ‘Airman’. The said passport was valid from the August 11, 2005 to August 10, 2015.
