How Bail Works In South Africa
In South Africa an accused on bail is released once the bail money is paid or a guarantee to pay it is given. Anyone may pay bail money for the accused, and it is refunded only to the accused or the person who deposited it. An official must refuse a deposit from someone who has been or will be indemnified, or who gets a financial benefit from it.
