A 37-YEAR-OLD man who serves as an interpreter at the Pampierstad Magistrate’s Court was arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation unit in Northern Cape on Tuesday.
The Hawks provincial spokesperson, Capt Nomthandazo Mnisi said between 2016 and 2017, Joseph Moroka allegedly contacted the suspect’ sister in a stock theft case and demanded a gratification of R2 500 in order to release him.
“In a separate, but related incident, Moroka also approached the suspect’s mother in a drug-related case and demanded a gratification of R1000 in order to release the suspect,” said Mnisi.
Moroka briefly appeared at the Hartswater Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday and he was granted a R3000 bail. The case is postponed until 16 March 2021 for further investigations.
