Pay Back Cash Bail With Interest Mothobi

Justice Michael Mothobi expressed his viewpoint at the bail hearing of murder accused Thato Tsametse.

“The law assumes that one is innocent till proven guilty. Bail is therefore liberty and I think it would be right if the bail money is kept in an interest accruing account so that the accused that need the money very much can use it,” he said.Tsametse has been charged with the brutal murder of his young cousin, Arnold Ofentse, who he allegedly killed for insurance claims. He was on Tuesday granted bail by Mothobi after his case was committed to the High Court.
