Former head of South African police crime intelligence Major-General Mulangi Mphego has been granted bail of 5,000 rand, about 260 euros, after his first appearance at the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court, SABC News reports. He is accused of unlawfully possessing more than 100 rounds of police-issued ammunition, discovered in July during a search of his home in Centurion.
The investigation into the ammunition is linked to the murder of Lieutenant-General Sindile Mfazi. The court barred Mphego from contacting witnesses, directly or indirectly, because of his influence and former position in the South African police.
The case was postponed until 3 November for further proceedings.
