Cross-examining of state witness resumes in Gagash’s fraud case

"Gagash" Nonyane and Charlotte Tibana are facing 43 charges, including fraud and money laundering.

In the upcoming bail application for Tshwane Metro Police Department officer Peter "Gagash" Nonyane and his wife Charlotte Tibana, their defense team continues to question the state's witness, Constable Khutsiso Thobejane, regarding his potential influence on the case and the testimony of other witnesses.

Peter Nonyane, in his supplementary affidavit, revealed that he earns additional income by working as an event coordinator and MC at a nightclub in Pretoria. Charlotte Tibana, the defense attorney, is seeking bail as she is a parent and needs to ensure the continuity of her law firm.

The prosecution alleges that the accused defrauded six deceased estates of millions of rand through various charges, including fraud, money laundering, and corruption. Thobejane remains opposed to bail, citing fears that the accused could interfere with the ongoing investigations and witness testimonies.
