P17 million CMS case on today

The accused remain in custody after their bail application was rejected late last month. Court is set to review their current situation. In the previous session the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) had argued that the men be remanded in custody while the state continues with its investigations. The accused sought to be released so they could get legal representation. Moroka will review the situation this morning.

The men, who collectively face three counts of obtaining by false pretence contrary to section 308 as read with section 307 of the Penal Code, are: Kgomotso Seloka, 33, a graphics designer; Jabulani Johnson, 33, unemployed; Norman Maja, 48, a driver at CMS; Aaron Babolele, 29, a senior CMS administration officer; Lebogang Kaisara, 31, a CMS storekeeper; David Tumagole, 37, self-employed; Patrick Cole, 36, a director of a company based in South Africa called USASA; Clement Molefe, 35, a site manager at USASA; Otsile Mosarwe, 29, unemployed; and Jenamo Mfana, 35, a director of a refrigeration company.
