Chabalala allegedly tried to bribe Hawks officers with R40,000 when he was nabbed. This was confirmed by the Hawks.

"We found out that the accused first got his ID book in 2015. When home affairs wanted to find out his parents' details and IDs, the accused labelled a certain lady as his mother. But the lady denied knowing him and her ID book got stolen in 2015. He also labelled two people as his brother and sister but they all denied knowing him or being his siblings."

Sekgotodi said Chabalala also told officials that he was born at Bethal Hospital, but the hospital did not have records of him being born there."The case against my client is very weak, there's no way that the state can prove the case successfully. On Friday, we are coming here for a formal bail application and we are going to be successful on that," Phatudi said.

"On this case we believe there's more suspects to be arrested regarding the ID of the suspect," said Sekgotodi.
