Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant ANESU MAFOKOSHO was charged with murder and applied for bail pending trial. The State opposed the application on grounds that admission to bail would prejudice the administration of justice, citing the applicant's flight from the scene and subsequent hiding in the forest as factors indicating likelihood of abscondment.
