Two accused in the Tibana, Gagash fraud case granted bail
Two of the four people charged with fraud related to the looting of deceased estates granted bail.
Rirhandzu Tibana and Jabulani Maluleke have been granted bail in the amount of R60,000 each at the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court in Limpopo, South Africa. The two individuals were arrested last month on allegations of benefiting from the looted estate accounts. Charlotte Tibana, the estate attorney, and her husband, Peter “Gagash” Nonyane, the TMPD officer, were previously denied bail for their involvement in the alleged fraud.
The four individuals are accused of conspiring to defraud approximately R11 million from multiple estate accounts managed by Charlotte Tibana. The legal proceedings have been delayed until November 6, 2026, during which all four accused will be tried together and required to report to their nearest police station every Friday before 6 PM.
