Bail hearing of ‘Gagash’ Nonyane, wife continues in Polokwane court

Peter Nonyane and Charlotte Tibana faces 35 charges of fraud, money laundering and corruption.

The bail hearing of Tshwane Metro Police Department officer Peter "Gagash" Nonyane and his wife, estate attorney Charlotte Tibana, is set to resume at the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo on Tuesday. The couple is facing 35 charges of fraud, money laundering, and corruption, stemming from the alleged defrauding of five deceased estate accounts of over R 4 million.

Nonyane and Tibana have been in custody since their arrest two weeks ago. The third state witness, NPA financial investigator Andrew Ngobeni, will continue his testimony, with cross-examination by a new defence lawyer due to Advocate Hlawu Maluleke's unavailability. The state is expected to call five witnesses in total.
