His latest move comes after the Johannesburg Central Magistrate’s Court dismissed his application for leave to appeal his conviction and his application for bail, pending the outcome of the application. They also argued that there were discrepancies between the charges against Cekeshe and what was in his statement.

A notice dated October 15, which Ian Levitt Attorneys filed at the High Court and which News24 has seen, stated: “The applicant asks for the order setting aside the decision and judgment of the magistrate and granting the applicant bail pending the outcome of his petition against both conviction and sentence, in the amount of R5,000.”
