Police arrested Simuku for allegedly assaulting his wife in Nkurenkuru in Kavango West region.
The accused made his first court appearance on 18 July 2022 before magistrate Adelinu Hailonga, who remanded him in custody due to the seriousness of the offence, and for further police investigations.
During his formal bail appearance on Tuesday, Simuku was granted bail of N$2 000 with several conditions attached.
The court warned the accused not to interfere with the complainant, indirectly or directly, and ordered him to vacate their marital home and not to go there as part of the bail conditions.
Simuku is facing charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, read with the provisions of the Combating of Domestic Violence Act.
His case was postponed to 13 October 2022 pending further police investigations.
Failure to appear in the Rundu Magistrate”;s Court or the Nakundu periodic court, a warrant of arrest will be issued against the accused, and his bail cancelled and the money forfeited to the state.
Bernhard Tjatjara represented the accused.
