Twala said management was ready to go to trial.
“Barnard and Lazarus indicated today that they intend to apply to the state attorney’s office that the state pay their legal costs, as they will not have legal representatives throughout the trial. The Directorate of Investigation is ready to go to trial and finally resolves the lengthy nine-year court case that ID inherited last year, “Twala said.
They are accused of corruption, fraud and theft.
Barnard faces an additional charge of defeating the ends of justice. “This is in connection with the allegation of abuse of the secret service bribery fund. This includes allegations of payment of the fund for private travel to China and Singapore, private use of witness protection houses, conversion of this property for personal use and leasing his private residence to the state to pay the bond for Mdluli, among others, “he said.
Mdluli is serving a five-year prison term for kidnapping, assaulting and intimidating Oupa Ramogibe in 1998 in an unrelated case.
