Thabo Bester Escape - Lawyers Challenge Police Officer's Objections to Bail GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica

Five of the eight accused in the Thabo Bester matter appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Friday.

The defence took the opportunity to challenge the charges brought against the accused and to dispute some of Flyman's arguments for why the accused should not be granted bail. Flyman had previously testified that the community was angry and could take action against the accused, and that the accused could pose a danger to the state's witnesses.

Koenane said that because Masukela only reported for duty at 07:45 on 3 May, he could not have been involved in starting the fire earlier that morning. He also said that there was no evidence that Masukela helped Bester escape. On the issue of bail, Koenane said that there is no reason to believe that Masukela would commit any crimes or harm witnesses if he is released on bail.
