Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a Zimbabwe National Army member, applied for bail pending trial on eight counts of robbery allegedly committed in aggravating circumstances involving firearms, violence and theft of over US$300,000. The State initially opposed bail but later conceded based on the investigating officer's testimony that the case was weak, relying only on accomplice implication.
