Lifman said he cooperated with the police and asked the court to reduce the amount of bail from 100,000 rand requested by the state to 20,000 rand.
He fought to avoid being placed under house arrest and retain his firearm. The court heard that he possessed eight firearms.
“I wish to declare that I have cooperated at all times with the police and judicial authorities in this matter. In fact, I would have informed the police earlier to have the matter listed with the court, but since I was traveling on business to Johannesburg and Durban in the period since my attorney received a phone call from the prosecutor, I did not I was able to do it, ”said the affidavit.
“I submit that the state’s case against me is weak because there has been a long delay before a decision was made to prosecute me.”
He said the house arrest would have a negative effect on his business as he had to constantly travel in South Africa.
“Having to be restricted to my home for the duration of this matter, I think it will be a severe and unreasonable bail condition. The case will probably take a long time before it is completed, which means I can be under house arrest for months, if not years. This will have an impact on my life and my business interests will be negatively affected. I am also willing to hand over my passport ”.
