The corruption and fraud cases involving former Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi and several former municipal officials have been postponed in the Germiston Magistrate's Court.
The case involving Mkhwanazi and former Ekurhuleni officials Imogen Mashazi, Kemi Behari and Linda Gxasheka has been postponed to 13 November.
Mashazi, Behari and Gxasheka are accused of allegedly shielding Mkhwanazi from accountability over claims that he facilitated the provision of blue lights to controversial businessman Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala through a fraudulent memorandum of agreement.
The postponement is intended to allow the defence teams to establish whether they have received full disclosure of the case docket from the State.
In a separate matter, Mkhwanazi appeared alongside Matlala and Ekurhuleni fleet manager Chris Steyn.
The three face charges of fraud and corruption relating to the alleged unlawful installation of blue lights and sirens on vehicles belonging to Matlala's company.
Their case has been postponed to 29 January for further consultations and instructions.
