Goitsemodimo Setume 30, who resides in Makobo, Lebalang Tshekiso 29 and Alek Matina 26, both of Jamataka were appearing for bail application before Senior Magistrate Thebeetsile Mulalu. Setume asked Mulalu to consider granting him bail to go and look for money, as there was no one to pay for him while he was remanded in custody. Tshekiso also said there is no way he can pay for his bail application while in prison.

Matina, just like his co-accused, asked Mulalu to consider his bail application because his parents were not working and there was no one to pay for his bail application. He said that he was the breadwinner in his family.
