The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (the Hawks) has arrested a prosecutor at the King William's Town magistrate's court for alleged corruption and extortion in the Eastern Cape.

The arrest on Tuesday followed a complaint that the prosecutor demanded R5,000 from a person arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol in January 2018.

Hawks spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi said the driver was phoned by the prosecutor five months after his arrest and told his blood test results indicated he was over the alcohol limit.

great, another insignificant peon caught for corruption

how many high ranking cadres fingered by the state capture commission have been arrested again? ...
 
Should charge him with culpable homicide or manslaughter , this is what could have happened if the drunk driver hit someone , lets always assume the worst and charge accordingly , after a few cases the appetite for corruption will dry out.
