The judge presiding over the case said that the accused were not flight risks and managed to prove they were candidates for bail.
"You have a duty to disclose a record of your previous convictions, a record of your pending cases where you were released on bail, and a record of any protection order that was granted by the court pertaining to the Domestic Violence Act or Protection from Harassment act. If you wilfully mislead this court or refuse to provide that information, when convicted for failure to disclose that information, you will be sentenced to a fine of R80,000 or two years imprisonment," she said.
