Mmamonnye Ngobeni, a former KZN police commissioner, applies for bail in Durban Magistrates Courts after surrendering to the police.

Former KZN Hawks chief Johan Booysen testifies in the state’s arrest investigation on May 2, 2019.

JOHANNESBURG – Former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks chief Johan Booysen said Mmamonnye Ngobeni should be prosecuted when she appeared in court on corruption charges.

Ngobeni, a former police commissioner at KZN, was released on bail in Durban magistrate courts after she turned herself in to police on Monday morning.

She is accused of receiving bribes from controversial Durban businessman Thoshan Panday, who allegedly won a dubious tender to accommodate police officers during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Booysen, who was involved in the investigation of the case, said Ngobeni’s appearance in court was significant.

“The fact that people have been arrested shows that the National Prosecutor’s Office is moving forward.”

Former Police Captain Aswin Narain, Persad Panday and another defendant Navin Madhoe appeared in court last Friday.
