Two Hawks officers and a traditional healer appeared in court in a Pretoria court on charges ranging from dealing in ammunition to defeating the ends of justice.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Thandi Mbambo, says they were arrested last week following a tip-off about Hawks officers
Hawks Lieutenant-Colonel Refiloe Mnisi, who was charged with theft and dealing in ammunition, was granted bail of R3000 in the Pretoria Central Magistrate's Court on Monday.
She says Captain Thandi Mooka who faces a charge of defeating the ends of justice was granted bail of R2000.
The case is postponed for further investigation and both will appear again in the Pretoria Central Magistrates` Court on the 27 June 2022.
Meanwhile, the traditional healer, Nonhlanhla Chabalala, who appeared in the Pretoria North Magistrate's Court was granted bail of R1000 and will appear again on 12 July 2022.
This follows their arrest last Friday after the Hawks received information about an officer who intended to supply SAPS ammunition to a traditional healer.
Mbambo said a sting operation was put in motion and the 43-year-old female traditional healer was arrested at her residence in Soshanguve.
"Further investigation led to the arrest of a female Lieutenant Colonel who was charged with theft and dealing in ammunition whilst the female Captain was arrested and charged with defeating the ends of justice after it was discovered that she tried to conceal evidence in this matter," Mbambo said.
