Port Elizabeth businessman, Shaun Blunden, has been released from custody on bail.
On Thursday, Magistrate Hannelien Larson, granted him bail of R50 000 with strict conditions attached.
Blunden faces two charges of attempted murder for allgedly shooting his sister's ex-husband, Deon Williams, and for the alleged assault and pointing of a firearm at his niece, Kaylin Williams.
He faces additional charges of malicious damage to property and intimidation.
In her brief judgement, Magistrate Larson, said there is a strong prima-facie case against the bus company co-owner and that he faces serious charges.
Larson said if convicted, Blunden faces a minimum sentence of 15 years on a charge of attempted murder alone.
She also found that it was likely that he would intimidate witnesses and imposed a series of strict bail conditions.
His case was postponed to August 25 for further investigation.
