After days on a wanted list, police union boss Zwelinkosi Reuben Mdletshe has been arrested

The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union CEO and another man, identified by police as Robert Sherriff, were linked to an alleged plot to kidnap and murder prominent union officials.“The two suspects, Mdletshe and Sherriff, were arrested by members of the Hawks serious corruption investigation unit and they are appearing at Kempton Park today,” said Capt Dineo Sekgotedi.
