11 November 2024- The Pretoria High Court postponed the corruption case against Richard Mdluli and his co-accused to 21 November 2024, for an outcome on his review application to Legal Aid South Africa after his application for legal assistance was denied. Legal Aid South Africa has however appointed an attorney to assist him with the review process.
The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said Mdluli’s application for leave to appeal on the high court’s decision that dismissed his application for the South African Police Service (SAPS) to pay his legal fees, was dismissed by the high court with costs.
“Mdluli, together with the former South African Police Service (SAPS) Supply Chain Manager, Heine Barnard and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Solomon Lazarus, are facing charges of corruption, fraud and theft relating to the police’s secret slush fund from the time they were employed by the SAPS in the Crime Intelligence Services, between 2008 and 2012,” he said.
