Speaker 1: Right, let's get into this story then. A number of
Speaker 1: high ranking police officers appearing in court today, amongst them
Speaker 1: Crime Intelligence Boss General Dumisani Kumarlo. Another six senior ranking
Speaker 1: officers appearing as well, this after they were arrested by
Speaker 1: members of the Investigating Directorate against Corruption. Quite a lengthy
Speaker 1: appearance from what I could see. The conversations around bail
Speaker 1: were quite extensive. But really, what is the matter before
Speaker 1: the court? Oren singh Ewn reporter has been in the
Speaker 1: court but also asking some questions outside. Are in a
Speaker 1: very good afternoon too, What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: this matter? Some are saying their rests are significance significant.
Speaker 1: Of course, the case still has to be made and proved.
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely, John, and I think we'll see that in
Speaker 2: the coming weeks. The case was postponus afternoon to the
Speaker 2: thirteenth of August, and majority of the seven accused, six
Speaker 2: of them in fact, were awarded ten thousand and bail,
Speaker 2: although they had requested that the court released them on
Speaker 2: a thousand and bell, which the magistrate was not happy with.
Speaker 2: Given the fact that many of these officials within Crime
Speaker 2: Intelligence are executive members within Crime Intelligence and earning quite
Speaker 2: a hefty salary. We heard that the head of Crime
Speaker 2: Intelligence to Musani Kumalo, earns about seventy four thousand and
Speaker 2: a month. But essentially, what's what's the main issue at
Speaker 2: hands here, John, is they're facing charges of corruption and fraud.
Speaker 2: And this relates to the hiring of a non SAPs
Speaker 2: person into a very high ranking and senior position within
Speaker 2: crime Intelligence. Dneo Moquele, a woman who we believe worked
Speaker 2: previously at private company. She was hired within crime intelligence
Speaker 2: last year in April, and she was hired at a
Speaker 2: brigadier into quite a senior executive role. The State ledgers
Speaker 2: that the six of us CO accused they colluded in
Speaker 2: sort of working around getting her into the system. So
Speaker 2: essentially John catered deployment to an extent, and the States
Speaker 2: is saying that they've got a very strong case against
Speaker 2: all seven of these accused.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll follow it with a great deal of interest.
