A corruption and contravention of the Immigration Act case against two men has been postponed by the Grankuwa Magistrate’s Court to 19 September 2023. Two Zimbabwean nationals, Dalubuhle Ncube (42) and Bonginkosi Moyo (40) were arrested by the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation in a sting operation in Garankuwa on 8 September 2023.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said: “They were arrested for allegedly enticing a Hawks investigator with R10 000 to secure the bail release of Ncube’s brother.
“According to the Hawks, Ncube’s brother has been in custody since 2022, following his arrest by the Rustenburg Serious Organised Crime Investigation for allegedly manufacturing drugs.
The report further revealed that the two were arrested moments after handing over R10 000 to the investigating officer assigned to the drugs case.”
Mamothame further said the money and the vehicle they used, were seized for further investigations. He added that Moyo and Ncube will remain in police custody until their next court appearance.
“The case was postponed for them to be appointed a Legal Aid SA attorney. The two are said to be Zimbabwean nationals and the state is yet to confirm their status in the country with the Department of Home Affairs,” he added.
