The bail application of nine police officers implicated in the death of Daveyton taxi driver Mido Macia was postponed by the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

The court heard that alternative addresses for the accused still needed to be verified.

The matter was postponed to July 30.

Macia was filmed being tied to the back of a police van and dragged along a street in Daveyton on February 26.

Police had confronted him because his taxi was apparently blocking traffic. A scuffle ensued. He was found dead in the local police station’s holding cells several hours later.

The accused are Thamsanqa Ncema, 35, Linda Sololo, 56, Meshack Malele, 45, Motome Walter Ramatlou, 37, Percy Mnisi, 26, Bongumusa Mdluli, 25, Sipho Ngobeni, 30, Lungisa Ewababa, 31, and Bongani Kolisi, 27.
