BREAKING: RIRHANZU TIBANA & JABULANI MALULEKE GRANTED R60,000 BAIL EACH | ESTATE FRAUD CASE
High-stakes courtroom proceedings reached a pivotal climax as the presiding judge officially delivered a long-awaited ruling on the urgent bail application brought by applicant number three and applicant number four seeking immediate release from custody.

The high-profile legal matter proceeded strictly under section 60, subsection 11, letter B of the Criminal Procedure Act due to the severe nature of the formal charges the accused applicants are facing before the court.
In rendering the final determination, the court carefully evaluated sworn affidavits formally accepted into the evidentiary record during the bail proceedings.
Both applicant number three and applicant number four confirmed directly to the bench that they are indeed the individuals actively seeking release from detention.
The applicants successfully demonstrated their standing under section 60, subsection 11, letter B while presenting their personal circumstances through sworn affidavit evidence.
The submitted affidavits proved to the satisfaction of the court that no adverse likelihoods or unlawful risks would materialize if the bench granted their release on bail.
The court thoroughly weighed the testimony and evidence provided by the investigating officer, who officially chose not to oppose the bail application.
The investigating officer confirmed under oath that releasing the applicants on bail carries no dangerous likelihoods, asserting that the accused will not commit any schedule offenses or endanger the safety of any member of the public.
Law enforcement further established that applicant number three and applicant number four do not pose a flight risk to evade trial.
After analyzing the legal submissions from all legal representatives, the court ruled that the interests of justice mandate the immediate release of both applicants from physical custody.
To balance the fundamental liberty rights guaranteed under section 12, subsection 1, letter A of the Constitution against the administration of justice, the court calculated the exact quantum of bail.
The judge factored in the gravity of the offenses put forward by the state, the severity of the potential punishment upon conviction, and the financial capacity of the accused persons to pay bail.
The court also evaluated the extensive family ties, business connections, and community roots established within the court’s territorial jurisdiction.
The presiding judge declared that a proper and suitable bail quantum for the applicants is set at an amount of 60,000.
The release comes attached with standard bail conditions alongside strict mandatory reporting orders imposed directly by the bench.
The court ordered that both applicants must report in person to their nearest designated police stations every single Friday before 18:00.
Under the binding court order, accused number three and accused number four must report to the Pretoria Central Police Station located on Pretoria Street.
The judge officially postponed the criminal matter to November 6, 2026, where applicant number three and applicant number four will be joined in the dock by accused number one and accused number two for further police investigations.
Upon paying the required 60,000 bail money, the applicants are ordered to appear in the F court promptly at half past eight in the morning on the scheduled date.
Following the formal reading of section 11, subsection 114, and the confirmation of reporting times before 18:00 every Friday at Pretoria Central, the court excused all counsel, including Mr. Mr., before adjourning proceedings for a five-minute recess.
