No-no, we are not talking about Hillary\u2019s husband Bill and Monica Lewinsky\u2019s favourite president, we are talking about Bill Clinton Lubisi.<\/p>\n

When Bill\u2019s mother decided to name him after the US President, her thoughts were of a man who relaxes with five women along Nkandla\u2019s pool – not a suspected illegal fisherman accused of wiping out the yellow fish population in the Olifants River.<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton is one of the accused in a case where protected species of fish worth R2 million were poached.<\/p>\n

Last weekend the Hawks arrested nine suspects, one of them a woman, in Vosman. The group of 10 were arrested after the Hawks received information that they were illegally using nets to catch mostly yellow fish, a protected species.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The group appeared before court on Friday for a formal bail application. Bail of R1 500 each was awarded to the five accused who are South African citizens: They have been identified as: Alfred Lubisi, Given Lubisi, Mandla Masanobo, Bill Clinton Lubisi and Zailinah Lubisi.<\/p>\n

Bail was refused for five Mozambican nationals, namely: Arthur Beneth, Jarose Moyena, Elias Nkuna James Seabelo and Sabaow Hlongwane.<\/p>\n
