A former Public Prosecutor was found guilty on corruption by the Kimberley Magistrate Court on Friday 29 March 2019.
Anele Kohlani (35) was fined R60 000 or three years imprisonment for his dishonesty.
Kohlani demanded R1500 to R2500 in April 2015 from a suspect, an accused in an assault case, to have charges against him withdrawn. His demands were reported to the provincial Serious Corruption Investigation team who with the cooperation of the victim managed to arrest him minutes after he was paid R1500.
Kohlani was arrested and was out on bail until his conviction last week Friday.
The National Head of the DPCI, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya, has welcomed both the arrest of the police officers in Durban 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.
