Mudolo, whose bail request is being heard separately from the others, appeared shortly after the court ruled that the Bushiri gave up their ownership of R5.5m in the Midstream Estate to the state, after they left the country while in bail.

The Bushiri, who are in Malawi, are expected to apply for bail in Lilongwe on Thursday afternoon.

Co-defendants Landiwe Ntlokwana and Zethu Mudolo also appeared briefly in court on Thursday.

It emerged that Ntlokoane only told authorities a day earlier that he wanted to travel to Cape Town. The presiding magistrate, Thandi Thibedi, warned him to adhere to the conditions of his release on bail, which require him to inform the authorities at least five business days in advance and to state the reasons for his departure.

“Please comply with the conditions of the bond, or your bond will be revoked. If you are going to Cape Town, you must show up one week before your departure. If you have an emergency, please also report [authorities] what the emergency is about, ”the magistrate told Ntlokwana.

The court previously heard that Ntlokwana, a financial consultant and member of Bushiri’s ECG church, lived with her retired mother who, along with her siblings, was dependent on her. Her husband is an asset manager in Cape Town and she regularly traveled between Soweto and Cape Town.

Ntlokwana and Zethu Mudolo were released on bail of 100,000 rand and 20,000 rand respectively on 4 November, the same day as the Bushiri.
