Zane Ashlin Calitz and Christo Boshoff remains behind bars after their failed bail application in Kriel court.
The duo stand accused on several charges of theft and fraud emanating from several transactions for services that was paid but never done.
The Bulletin received several complaints regarding both accused in the 3 or 4 weeks leading up to their arrest. The complaints were always that money was paid, mostly for solar installations, but the items were never delivered nor was it installed.
On 18 February the SAPS finally arrested Christo and Zane on charges of theft and fraud.
The two were released on R1000 bail each in the Secunda Court but were kept in custody pending their appearances in both Kriel and Bethal courts
At the court in Kriel things did not go the way of the two accused and they were remanded in custody pending further investigation.
Zane appeared in the Bethal court this morning and was again denied bail. The state prosecutor argued that the alleged offence is now a schedule 5 offence. He also said that the accused, Zane, with his partner made far to many empty promises and lied to a lot of people. There is no reason to believe that he (they) will not start a new business and defraud more people. He continued to say that there is also no reason why they should not flee and start a business in Cape Town.
Zane claimed to have assets to the value of R5000 only and could only afford a R500 bail.
The Bethal magistrate agreed with the state in their case against the accused and did not grant him bail.
