Former crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli and his co-accused and former colleague, Mthembeni Mthunzi, spent their first night in jail on Tuesday night.

They were sentenced to an effective five years in jail by the South Gauteng High Court over their conviction for a 1998 assault and kidnapping. Their application for leave to appeal in an attempt to avoid going to jail, was denied.

They were found guilty of two counts of kidnapping, two counts of assault and two counts of assault with the intention to cause grievous bodily harm. “We are dealing with two senior policemen who arrogated to themselves powers which police normally have, but these powers were abused to such an extent that it was devastating on the victims, and consequently the only appropriate sentence in the circumstances is a custodial sentence,” he said.

His defence attorney, Ike Motloung, argued yesterday after the sentence that witnesses who implicated him before the court, including Buthelezi’s friend who was assaulted by the two as they demanded the whereabouts of Buthelezi and Ramogibe, had lied.
