This comes after State Prosecutor Seredine Jacobs argued that he poses a flight risk because his co-accused, Simon Hanga, is a resident of Germany. The state also highlighted the seriousness of the crime, the strength of its case, and concerns that the accused might interfere with police investigations as part of its reasoning for opposing bail. The case was postponed to 3 June 2025 for further investigations and lab results related to information extracted from devices. The pair will be remanded in custody at the Windhoek Correctional Facility. Hengari and his co-accused were arrested on Saturday after attempting to offer a bribe to a 21-year-old woman who has accused Hengari of raping her since 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAIL DENIED: Bail was denied to Mac Hengari, who made his first court appearance in the Windhoek Magistrate&#8217;s Court today, on charges of attempting to defeat the course of justice, read with the Riotous Assemblies Act.
