KWAZULU-NATAL – The Greytown Magistrate’s Court released 44-year-old Dumisani Mchunu on R1000 bail on Friday, 04 March 2022.

It is alleged that last month, a traffic officer from the local municipality in Greytown, stopped a male driving a suspicious motor vehicle with Gauteng registration plates on Durban Road in Greytown. He allegedly informed him that the vehicle had false registration plates. The vehicle was impounded. It is further alleged that he demanded R10 000 to release the vehicle.

The matter was reported to the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation team and a clandestine operation was conducted. Mchunu was arrested on Friday and charged with corruption. He was taken to court on the same day where he was released on bail.

The matter was postponed to 01 April 2022 and the investigation is continuing.
