The case against former Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and former Ekurhuleni municipal officials Imogen Mashazi, Kemi Behari and Linda Gxasheka is expected to resume on Friday morning at the Germiston Magistrates’ Court in the East Rand.
Mashazi, Behari and Gxasheka are accused of shielding Mkhwanazi from accountability over claims that he facilitated the provision of blue lights to alleged crime kingpin, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala through a fraudulent memorandum of agreement.
During their previous appearance on Friday last week, the matter was postponed so the defence teams could confirm whether they had received full disclosure of the case docket from the State.
Mkhwanazi also appeared alongside Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala and Ekurhuleni fleet manager Chris Steyn in a separate case last week.
This was also linked to the blue lights saga.
