“We brought an application for the bail of my client and it was argued yesterday (Monday) and the ruling was just delivered.
“I think the bail condition is set. The court has ruled and I think we must abide by that. The bail conditions are a bit long; one surety either a Civil Servant of not. If the person is a Civil Servant the conditions are there, if the person is not, the conditions are also there.
“it depend on our ability to meet the bail conditions. The court has already given its ruling.”
