Facts of the Case
Background
Two applicants, Peter Mare and Zenzo Mhambi, applied for bail pending trial on a charge of armed robbery. They allegedly robbed complainants at gun- and knife-point of cash and cellphones. The State opposed bail, relying on a strong prima facie case, recovery of getaway car, fake plates, pellet gun, cash and phones, and admissions made after arrest.
