This came as the state indicated that it did not oppose bail for Sekeleni, which was set at R10,000. He is expected to appear again in court on May 16. Prosecutor Sello Matlhoko indicated that the state was opposed to bail for Magudumana, former G4S prison warden Senohe Matsoara and former CCTV technician Teboho Lipholo, and asked that the three be remanded in custody until May 3 when they will be applying for bail.
“The court itself must be satisfied with the identity [of the accused]. We might find that’s not the person. But the court needs to be satisfied that it is indeed the person being charged,” said Matlhoko.
