Mkhwanazi faces corruption charges n for allegedly fitting blue lights on Matlala’s luxury vehicles.
Suspended Deputy Police Chief Julius Mkhwanazi's blue-light bail application has been reserved by the Germiston Magistrate's Court. Mkhwanazi, along with business rival Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and accused number three, Chris Steyn, appeared in court. Mkhwanazi and Matlala, who were already in court for other matters, were served with arrest warrants, while Steyn was arrested.
They are charged with a variety of corruption offenses, including fraud and defeating the ends of justice. These charges stem from the alleged fitting of blue lights on luxury vehicles belonging to Matlala's companies, Medicare24 and Cat VIP. Steyn was released on R10,000 bail. In a separate matter, Magistrate Trevor Classen has postponed the judgment on Mkhwanazi's bail application until September 14th, with Mkhwanazi being remanded in custody at the Benoni Police Station.
