Chiradza gets bail
The now notorious Otjiwarongo-based doctor, Yevai Chiradza, was granted bail on Friday in the matter of a 2015 crash he was involved in which killed three.
This follows after he handed himself over a month ago to the police in Windhoek following a warrant of arrest issued against him for failing to appear in court in Karibib.
Magistrate Unchen Konjore granted Chiradza bail of N$12 000 in the Karibib Magistrate's Court after the prosecutor, Johannes Kalipi, indicated the State would not oppose bail.
However, Konjore instructed Chiradza to hand his passport over to the investigating officer.
Furthermore, he must report to the Otjiwarongo police from Monday to Friday, between the hours of 08:00 and 17:00. The magistrate also warned him that in terms of his bail conditions, he may not commit the same offence while out on bail.
The deadly crash took place between Usakos and Karibib.
On 16 March, when he handed himself over to the Windhoek police, he was reportedly in town to see his doctor. He was transferred to Karibib and has been in holding ever since.
The matter was postponed to 25 June where his trial on three charges of culpable homicide will begin.
The crash claimed the lives of Welmine Louw and her sister Alet Junius, and Louw's only son, Konrad.
Junius' only child Sonja Junius, and her cousin Johan Junius, survived the crash.
Chiradza gained notoriety when, on the day he should have appeared in court, he allegedly drove very irresponsibly in a black Mercedes-Benz on the B1 between Okahandja and Otjiwarongo. The video went viral on social media platforms.
In the meantime, he has been suspended by the health ministry and it also came to light that he is under investigation by the Medical Professionals Council.
Louw's husband, also Konrad, has also launched a civil suit against Chiradza.
