EMPD Deputy Chief and Witness Granted Bail | Johannesburg News
Description
Suspended EMPD deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi and witness Witness K, a police inspector, have been granted R5,000 bail after being arrested during an IPID operation. Mkhwanazi faces charges of orchestrating a R15 million stone heist with K, whom he allegedly planned to marry — a relationship that may have fueled the crime. K previously testified before a commission accusing Mkhwanazi of leading the robbery, which involved falsifying police identities and assaulting a victim. Mkhwanazi denies all allegations, while other officers allegedly acting on his orders also received bail. Charges against a businessman involved were dropped. The case, now scheduled for August 25, 2026, centers on fraud, false authority, and jurisdictional violations.
