Mossel Bay court postpones bail hearing in police corruption case
A second suspect has been arrested in a case involving a K9 cop, with both facing charges that include corruption and the possession of explosives.
Xolisa Msizi, the second accused in the case against Sergeant Jacobus ‘JM’ Spangenberg of the K9 Langeberg Unit, appeared in the Mossel Bay Magistrate’s Court today for the furthering of his bail application.
According to Mossel Bay Advertiser, Msizi was arrested on Wednesday.
During court today, the matter was postponed again to Wednesday due to an overwhelming number of cases on the court roll and the absence of the presiding magistrate.
Mossel Bay Advertiser has applied for the court’s permission to photograph Msizi during his next appearance. The outcome of that application will also be determined on Wednesday.
Msizi and Spangenberg are facing charges of corruption, fraud, possession of explosives and defeating the ends of justice.
Spangenberg was granted bail of R5 000 under strict conditions during his court appearance on Wednesday and will reappear in court on December 3.
Msizi remains in police custody until Wednesday.
