Ex-intelligence boss Richard Mdluli begs to be spared prison as he's a pensioner and may contract Covid-19

Johannesburg - In his last-ditch effort to convince the judge not to send him to jail, convicted former crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli sought to present to court an expert epidemiologist’s report on Covid-19.

The pair were found guilty in July 2019 of two counts of kidnapping, two counts of common assault and two counts of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mdluli’s lawyer, Ike Motloung, was due to present the epidemiology report before Judge Mokgoatlheng at the South Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg on Monday.

“May the record please show that on July 9, I did send an email to all my colleagues informing them of the problems I was encountering in obtaining the services of an expert, an epidemiologist,” said Motloung.
