Bail granted in platinum heist case


 One of seven men charged in connection with a foiled platinum heist in Port Elizabeth two years ago, has been granted bail after his second attempt.

Judge Nomathamsanqa Beshe granted bail of R10 000 to 38-year-old, Madoda Nube, of New Brighton on Monday.

Nube and another co-accused, Lonwabo Neti, are the only two of the seven men charged in connection with the foiled heist in November 2011 in which six suspected robbers and a by-stander were killed, to get bail.

All seven face 17 charges that include murder, attempted murder, robbery and the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

Their trial resumes in February next year.
