Former Ekurhuleni munucipal manager Imogen Mashazi and co-accused, Advocate Khemrja “Kemi” Behari, Linda Gxasheka and Julius Mkhwanazi appeared at the Germiston Magistrate's Court on Thursday, following their arrests by the Madlanga Commission's Task Team.
The long arm of the law has finally caught up with the corridors of power, as the Madlanga Commission’s Task Team executed a sweeping overnight operation across Johannesburg, resulting in the arrest of four current and former City of Ekurhuleni senior employees.
The suspects include head of legal services Advocate Khemrja “Kemi” Behari and disgraced former city manager Dr Imogen Mashazi.
Suspended Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and head of human resource Linda Gxasheka are also among the four.
The arrests follow months of explosive evidence detailing how officials allegedly shielded and promoted tainted Metropolitan Police officials despite damning reports from the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID).
