Bail Bid Postponed for Six Men Accused of Attempted Murder and Three Counts of R**e in Sharpeville Tavern Attack

By Rea Gazette Reporter

The bail application of six men accused in connection with a tavern attack in Tshepiso, Sharpeville, has been postponed to 25 August 2026.

The accused made a brief appearance in the Vereeniging Magistrates’ Court today, Monday, 17 August 2026.

The six men are accused of attacking and robbing patrons at a tavern in June, allegedly taking money and cellphones.

One of the accused, Snyman Makgajane, is alleged to have r***d three women during the incident. He has since abandoned his bail application.

The accused are also facing allegations relating to an attack at the tavern owner’s home. It is alleged that the tavern owner was shot and robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash, bank cards and household belongings.

The accused face charges including robbery, crimen injuria, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, three counts of r**e and attempted murder.

The matter was postponed to allow the sixth accused, Tsietsi Makae, to secure legal representation after his previous private lawyer reportedly withdrew from the case over non-payment.

The six accused remain in custody pending their next court appearance.
