She was arrested shortly after 2-month-old Kwahlelwa Tiwane was snatched in Parow on 16 January by a woman posing as a social worker.
The child is still missing.
Karabo Tau’s uncle, Dumisani Njengele, says they had been praying that the court showed mercy and granted the matriculant’s bail application.
“Our prayers have been answered, we know this is not the end but at least she’s out now and she can try to heal outside instead of where she was traumatised.”

Tau’s mother burst into tears when Magistrate Charles Scott said he found that the State had failed to prove it was not in the interest of justice to grant the young woman bail.
Outside court, Tau’s supporters cheered, sang and danced as they celebrated the court’s decision.
The matter has been postponed to 7 April for further investigation.
Earlier yesterday, the State withdrew a kidnapping charge against a 22-year-old man, known to Tau.
