A 45-year-old brigadier, Rosey Resondt, who works for the national organized crime SAPS, appeared in Pretoria Magistrates Court on Thursday with her husband, Clifford Cornelius Resondt, who is the head of security for Shepherd Bushiri, accused of corruption and defeating the ends of justice.
This is after Clifford Resondt was arrested on January 20, 2018 for allegedly raping his wife’s niece, the National Tax Authority (NPA) said in a statement.

“On January 22, 2018, an amount of R500,000 was transferred from Shepherd Bushiri Ministries to Rosey’s account and the money was paid into the home loan account of the victim’s parents.
“On the same day, when the money was reflected in the parents’ account, the boy dropped the rape charges against Resondt. At the next court hearing, the matter was dropped, ”said the NPA.
