Five of the 10 police officers arrested for theft and extortion following a raid in the Johannesburg CBD were granted bail yesterday. | Tankmaester

"Instead, the three of them allegedly took the truck to Meadowlands police station. They had parked it awkwardly, leaving it with no access to the passenger door. The first accused [Makhubela] also had the keys to the truck without returning it to the state."

Magistrate Lucas van der Schyff asked whether if the trio could have left the truck in Meadowlands because they were tired. "It could have been a case of them being lazy and decided to call it a day and to not continue with the operation as per the plan. "I am not saying that this the case or that it's their defence, but it could be a possibility," he said.Five other officers are also expected to appear in the same court next week for their formal bail application.

Mashaba denies CBD raids targeted African migrantsThe mayor also responded to concerns about the health services offered by the city, placing some more blame on foreign nationals. Exactly why the ANC government should tread carefully in affairs related to the mayor as he tends to act recklessly oftentimes. Anything that the DA says or does will be characterised unfair and racist The fact is only black people are being targeted. All you have to do is look at SA Visa Forum group to realize how many other races are in South Africa illegally yet nobody is saying anything about that. S'thuli nje syabheka
