PALAPYE: A Swaziland national, Dumisani Dlamini, 37, charged with unlawful possession of a substance suspected to be dagga was denied bail after pleading for release in order to secure his children’s education.

Appearing before Palapye magistrate Gofaone Mosweu, Dlamini failed to convince the court as to why he should be granted bail recently.

 Mosweu ordered that the accused be remanded in custody until the next mention when the terms of his bail will further be discussed based on the police report that is yet to  establish the substance in question that is also in police custody.
