James Hackett and Erkan Bali have each paid an amount of R15K to the Solidarity Fund in an attempt to contribute to government’s response to the Covid-19 crisis.
James Hackett and Erkan Bali deliberately ignored border officials and crossed the border in April, disregarding lockdown regulations prohibiting foreigners from entering the country, National Prosecuting Authority regional spokesperson Natasha Kara said in a statement on Friday. National police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo previously told News24 that Hackett and Bali had driven from Eswatini. He said when they arrived at the Golela border post, they were denied entry into South Africa and were told to return to Eswatini.
In court, acting regional court prosecutor Ronitha Singh told the court the offences were serious, and the actions of the accused had led to an inter-provincial search, resulting in expenditure of human and financial resources of the government and private sector.
