Julius Mkhwanazi, Kagiso Lerutla back in Boksburg Regional court - Thabiso Radebe reports

Suspended Ekurhuleini Metro Police deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi and Ekurhuleni municipal manager Kagiso Lerutla are due back in the Boksburg Regional court on Monday. The pair face charges of fraud, corruption and defeating the ends of justice. The State allege that Lerutla paid Mkhwanazi R400 000 for an impersonator to appear in court on behalf of Lerutla in 2019, after he was arrested for speeding. Both accused are out on R30 000 bail each.

During the previous court sitting last week Tuesday - the court heard that the defence has been provided with the amended charge sheet.
However, the defence indicated that it has applied for further particulars to assist it in preparing for a pre-trial conference. For more on this we cross live to our reporter Thasbiso Radebe.
