The bail application hearing of brothers George Cloete and Bino Cloete, who face charges of money laundering and illicit trafficking of diamonds, is set to continue in the Keetmanshoop Magistrates' Court next Tuesday.

Cross-examining Detective Inspector Frans Job during the continuation of their bail application hearing this week, applicant George Cloete pressed the senior cop to tell the court where they obtained the diamonds they had allegedly trafficked.

The diamonds are believed to have been stolen during the Namdia robbery heist last year.

He questioned whether the diamonds were obtained from Charles Roman, Wenzel Dreyer or from the police.

Job testified the ongoing investigation into the matter will lead them to unravel the culprits.

Cloete further argued that Job failed to present tangible evidence showing he is a flight risk, won't stand trial, and/or will interfere with state witnesses.

Job disagreed and said the state made submissions in that regard.

Cloete contended that the High Court, in a ruling on the bail refusal appeal case of accused three, found that the investigation was based on speculations and hearsay.

He questioned Job whether he is aware that the lower courts cannot contradict such a ruling.

Job replied he is not familiar with details of the appeal judgement, adding the bail hearing focuses on accused one and two, and not accused three.

Referring to the High Court judgement in question, Cloete questioned Job why he continues to oppose the granting of bail, looking at the legal principles, equality before law and constitutional supremacy.

Job said it is premature for the bail applicants to come with legal aspects, as the court has not yet pronounced on the matter.

Cloete furthermore questioned Job about how he has tested the witnesses' statements he so much relies on in his testimony.

Job replied this will be tested during the trial stage. Under cross-examination, bail applicant Bino Cloete put it to Job that he was opposing bail not on factual grounds, but on hearsay and assumptions.

Job replied hearsay is admissible in a bail hearing.
