Three former G4S employees have been granted bail in the ongoingTeboho James Lipholo, Senohe Ishmael Matsoara and Tieho Makhotsa were granted bail of R10 000 each after Judge Joseph Mhlambi overturned the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court’s decision to deny them bail.In passing judgment, Judge Mhlambi said there was no public outcry after two of their co-accused were granted bail before the trio’s appeal and that they were not flight risks.
“I am of the view that the appellants are not a flight risk. I find that there is neither a likelihood that they will influence or intimidate witnesses nor undermine the criminal justice system if they were to be released on bail. “The imposition of appropriate bail conditions will, in my view limit any risk that they may not stand their trial. The appeal should succeed and all the three appellants must be granted bail with appropriate conditions,” he said.The judge imposed strict bail conditions on the accused including that they are not allowed to contact any witnesses, directly or indirectly, and are not allowed to leave Bloemfontein without the permission of the investigating officer.
