Woman arrested for violating bail conditions

She was subsequently released on bail of R10 000 after she appealed against the judgement

A woman was remanded in custody last week Friday by the Emalahleni Regional Court for failure to comply with her bail conditions pending an appeal.

The 62-year old Lida Potgieter was arrested and charged on 737 counts of fraud and sentenced to six years direct imprisonment on February 18, 2015.

She was subsequently released on bail of R10 000 after she appealed against the judgement.

It is alleged that Potgieter violated her bail conditions resulting in a warrant for her arrest being issued culminating in her arrest last Friday.

The case has been postponed to July 26 for a formal bail application.
