Makhetha's bail application came to a brief halt after the state requested a short adjournment as the office of Free State director of public prosecution had requested a meeting.
When the matter resumed, the state confirmed it did not oppose Makhetha's application with strict conditions. “This is after the discussions we have had with the defence attorney. We have gone through the affidavit and I wish to confirm that the address has been confirmed by the investigating officer and the IO also confirmed that at this stage the witnesses who have already made statements are unknown to the accused, therefore there's no likelihood of him interfering with the witnesses.”
Prosecutor Sello Matlhoko confirmed the suspended G4S worker had surrendered his passport and that the bail amount agreed on was R10,000 with certain conditions. These include that Makhetha must not interfere or communicate with the 18 witnesses, a list of whom was submitted to his lawyers. He must also report to Bloemspruit police station every Monday between 8am and 4pm, and not leave Mangaung without written permission.
