WEBVTT - Crime intelligence boss in court

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, let's get into this story then. A number of

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>high ranking police officers appearing in court today, amongst them

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Crime Intelligence Boss General Dumisani Kumarlo. Another six senior ranking

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>officers appearing as well, this after they were arrested by

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>members of the Investigating Directorate against Corruption. Quite a lengthy

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>appearance from what I could see. The conversations around bail

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>were quite extensive. But really, what is the matter before

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the court? Oren singh Ewn reporter has been in the

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>court but also asking some questions outside. Are in a

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>very good afternoon too, What can you tell us about

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>this matter? Some are saying their rests are significance significant.

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the case still has to be made and proved.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, definitely, John, and I think we'll see that in

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the coming weeks. The case was postponus afternoon to the

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>thirteenth of August, and majority of the seven accused, six

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>of them in fact, were awarded ten thousand and bail,

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>although they had requested that the court released them on

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>a thousand and bell, which the magistrate was not happy with.

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>Given the fact that many of these officials within Crime

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Intelligence are executive members within Crime Intelligence and earning quite

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a hefty salary. We heard that the head of Crime

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Intelligence to Musani Kumalo, earns about seventy four thousand and

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a month. But essentially, what's what's the main issue at

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>hands here, John, is they're facing charges of corruption and fraud.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>And this relates to the hiring of a non SAPs

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>person into a very high ranking and senior position within

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>crime Intelligence. Dneo Moquele, a woman who we believe worked

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>previously at private company. She was hired within crime intelligence

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>last year in April, and she was hired at a

0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>brigadier into quite a senior executive role. The State ledgers

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>that the six of us CO accused they colluded in

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>sort of working around getting her into the system. So

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>essentially John catered deployment to an extent, and the States

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>is saying that they've got a very strong case against

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>all seven of these accused.

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'll follow it with a great deal of interest.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.160
