Three police officers attached to the Kwazulu Natal Taxi Violence Unit are behind bars following their arrest on Friday 29 March 2019, in Pinetown.
The officers aged between 44 and 51 years old were arrested by the National Serious Corruption Investigation team after they demanded and received R200 000 from two alleged suspects they are supposedly investigating for the mayhems in the province’s taxi industry.
Hardly two weeks after getting the complaint the Hawks team arrested the three officers after they took delivery of the cash at a mall in Pinetown.
The three officers will appear on Monday at the Durban Magistrate court on charges of corruption.
The National Head of the DPCI, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya, has welcomed both the arrest of the police officers and the conviction of Kohlani adding that both incidents will send a very strong message to those who misuse their strategic positions for selfish gains.
