TMPD Officer ‘Gagash’ and Wife apply for bail in Polokwane court

A state lawyer will conclude the cross-examination in the bail application of Gagash and wife

A bail hearing for a Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department officer and his wife is resuming in a Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo. Peter Nonyane, known as ‘Gagash’, and Charlotte Tibana are charged with defrauding three estate accounts of over R4 million between 2024 and 2026. The state’s witness, Constable Khutsiso Thobejane, previously testified that the accused would obstruct investigations if released on bail.

The prosecution plans to call two additional witnesses to oppose their bail application when the court reconvenes. Nonyane and Tibana are accused of using the stolen funds to purchase multiple properties and luxury vehicles. They are currently held in custody while awaiting the bail hearing.
