Julius Mkhwanazi in court over blue lights case
Mkhwanazi was arrested in connection with the blue lights fitted on 'Cat' Matlala's vehicles
Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi is set to appear in Germiston Magistrates’ Court this Friday. The charges against him are tied to the blue lights installed on vehicles belonging to alleged criminal Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala. Mkhwanazi was taken into custody on Thursday. Other suspects are anticipated to appear alongside him during his court proceedings.
His legal counsel, Shafique Sarlie, informs that Mkhwanazi faces fraud and corruption allegations. "I have not reviewed the charge sheet, but from what I understand, it pertains to the blue lights affixed to ‘Cat’ Matlala's vehicle. Recall from the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, there was evidence presented concerning the improper use of the blue lights, among other issues, so we anticipated this and are prepared to handle it," Sarlie adds.
