## Resource

Janet Hilda Mncube, a former hotel worker accused of stealing 1.4 million rand by funneling payments into her niece’s account, pleaded guilty and was convicted—but her bail expired after conviction, sparking a legal battle. Her team tried to reinstate bail while awaiting sentencing, but the magistrate refused unless written, pushing the case to June 2026. They appealed to the Gauteng High Court, seeking to overturn the bail termination and challenge the state’s right to respond to a potential plea reversal. The High Court dismissed the application outright, ruling her bail automatically ended upon conviction and that the state must be given a chance to respond to any plea reversal—making the appeal legally pointless.
