Thabani Hadebe, the teacher accused of having sex with school girls and videoing the sessions, will continue his bail application in the Nquthu Magistrate’s Court on October 14.
The Court last week heard evidence from investigating officer, Sibusiso Nsele, that he had evidence of cellphone communication between Mr Hadebe and the victim. Mr Nsele said more victims will come forward – an announcement that surprised Magistrate Sewpersadh and prosecutor Dookhi.
Before the second break, the Magistrate commented: “It’s surprising to hear new information about new victims – this makes it difficult to take a decision. The court might need to prove if evidence is relevant. The State will need to digest all the new information presented today.” The prosecutor felt the same.
Relatives, including his mother, Mabuthelezi Hadebe, were at the Court to support Mr Hadebe. They said they would support him to the end. Mrs Hadebe said, “he is the only son I ever carried in my womb, I never said I hate him.” They had travelled from Ulundi to Nquthu.
