Former Ekurhuleni city manager Imogen Mashazi and suspended human resources head Linda Gxasheka

Former Ekurhuleni city manager Imogen Mashazi and the metro's suspended human resources boss Linda Gxasheka will apply for bail at the Germiston Magistrate's Court on Friday after spending a second night behind bars on corruption charges.

The two had been arrested on Wednesday alongside suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi and suspended head of legal services Kemi Behari.

The four faced charges of fraud, corruption and defeating the ends of justice when they appeared in the same court on Thursday.

Mkhwanazi and Behari had been granted bail of R50,000 each after the state did not oppose their release.
