A Zimbabwean gardener, Bhekizwe Nkomazana accused of
stealing P3.9 million from his late boss, has been granted bail but is still
sitting in jail, two years later.
A magistrate said Nkomazana will only be released if he
surrendered his Botswana passport. Nkomazana was given P15 000 bail and ordered to provide two Batswana sureties who will bind themselves with P10 000.
The Voice newspaper reports that he is also to surrender
his travel documents, report to Broadhurst Police everyday and stay within 10km
radius of Gaborone.
The investigating officer, Detective Senior Superintendent
Sergeant Marapo told court that during arrest Nkomazana refused to surrender
his Botswana passport. But Nkomazana claims Marapo knows where the passport is
and has accused the investigating officer with sabotaging him as he was granted
bail against his remand application.
The accused’s names on the Zimbabwean passport are Bhekizwe
Nkomazana while on the Botswana passport he is Khaya Bheki Mazibuku (names
which are said to be the late Tlhapane’s son in law).
Case management conference was set for April 26th, 2019 while
trial date will be set on that same day.
