Mother Rejects Bail for Son as Rehoboth Drug Case Heads to Court
By Aneli Fura
A bail application is currently before the Rehoboth Magistrate’s Court in a drug-related case involving several suspects, including 33-year-old Menschel Beukes.
While court proceedings continue, Beukes’ mother, Shirley Beukes (62), has openly stated that she does not want her son released from custody. She described years of hardship caused by his repeated involvement in drugs and crime.
According to her, Menschel has been in and out of prison for similar offences and has stolen from her on numerous occasions to sustain his drug habit. She further explained that he has neglected his six children, who are now under her care.
Beukes said household items and even the children’s school bags have been taken and sold for drugs, leaving the family with almost nothing. She stressed that she will not assist with bail if it is granted, saying she can no longer endure the situation.
Menschel Beukes was arrested last week and is facing drug-related charges alongside co-accused Naomi Fisch and three others.
