Mkhwanazi, co-accused’s blue lights case postponed to next year
The case is expected to be transferred to the Regional court at their next appearance
The case against Julius Mkhwanazi and three former Ekurhuleni municipal officials has been pushed back to February 25, 2027, in Germiston Magistrates' Court. Imogen Mashazi, Kemi Behari, and Linda Gxasheka face charges of protecting Mkhwanazi from accountability for allegedly facilitating the installation of blue lights on vehicles owned by a crime figure.
During a brief court appearance, the accused made their plea before their proceedings were postponed. The defense teams were given full disclosure of the case file, and the delay offers them time to prepare for the trial. The case might be transferred to a higher court at their next hearing.
