In Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo, Peter Nonyane, also known as Gagash, and his lawyer wife Charlotte Tibana are set to continue their bail application on Monday morning.

These allegations involve defrauding the estates of three deceased individuals of over R4 million between 2024 and the present.
The couple has entered a not guilty plea. State witness and Hawks investigator Constable Phuthisho Thobejane informed the court that Tibana allegedly profited more than R2.7 million from the Hlengani Maswanganyi estate, utilizing some of the funds to acquire properties, with some registered in her sister's name, Rirhandzu Tibana.
Thobejane is anticipated to finish his testimony, guided by prosecutor Martin Molokwane. The state is against their bail release.
