This was the third week dedicated to Jacobs’ bid to change her bail conditions which were set in July when she was granted R4 000 bail.

The application to have her bail conditions amended includes a request to visit her son who lives in Mitchells Plain, and to collect her belongings at a premises that she had rented at the time of her arrest .

She is also asking the court to have her signing in at Kleinvlei Police Station changed to Delft Police Station.

Bail conditions prohibit Jacobs from visiting Mitchells Plain including Strandfontein.
