Sexwale hijacking: bail application abandoned

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The attorney representing Mbuso Simelane, the man arrested for allegedly hijacking top businessman Tokyo Sexwale’s wife, Judy, has abandoned Simelane’s bail application.

Simelane had hardly reached the dock at the Randburg magistrate’s court when his defence counsel, Calvin Maile, told presiding Magistrate Stanley Mkhari, of his intention to give up on his earlier decision to press for bail.

Mkhari immediately postponed the case to August 24 for further investigations and for setting a trial date.

The 27-year-old Simelane was appearing on charges of hijacking Judy Sexwale.

The alleged hijacking took place while Judy was packed outside St David Marist School in Sandton, where her son is a pupil.

The hijackers made off with her BMW X5, cellphone, a Rolex watch and some foreign currency. Her car was recovered two hours later at a nearby shopping.

The Star revealed last month that Simelane was out on bail for an armed robbery when he committed his alleged hijacking crime.

On Monday, Maile abandoned Simelane’s bail application.

Asked why he did so, Maile said: “We decided that if we proceeded with the bail, it could have negative impact on his trial. It’s best to save it for last.” – The Star
