MBOMBELA – Klagtes van regsverydeling, korrupsie en die onwettig besit van vuurwapens en ammunisie sal op 4 Maart deur die staat bewys word, wanneer drie vermeende stropers weer in die Nelspruit Streekshof verskyn.

Mnr. Joshe Lopes, mnr. Reginald Ubisi en mnr. Sergio Mothambiso het Dinsdag voor landdros mnr. André Geldenhuys verskyn en die saak teen hulle is uitgestel. Hulle borgtog is tot hul volgende verskyning verleng.

Laevelder het vroeër berig dat die drie beskuldigdes gearresteer is nadat Lopes se vreemde optrede op
25 Mei, 2014, agterdog gewek het. Hy het die Nasionale Krugerwildtuin op daardie dag by die Krokodilbrug-hek binnegekom en vir homself en twee passasiers betaal, hoewel hy die enigste insittende in die voertuig was.

SANParks-owerhede is deur die hekbeamptes hiervan ingelig en was op die uitkyk vir Lopes se motor.
Hy het sowaar twee passasiers, vuurwapens en ammunisie by hom in die motor gehad toe hy by Onder-Sabie afgetrek en deursoek is. Lopes, Ubisi en Mothambiso is gearresteer en het hierna glo probeer om polisiebeamptes van die Skukuza SAPD om te koop. Die beamptes het nie hiervoor geval nie en die drie van korrupsie aangekla.

Joshe Lopes, Reginald Ubisi and Sergio Mothambiso were arrested last May, and the case is continuing.

What is interesting is that Lopes entered alone at CB gate, paying for himself and two passengers!

The gate alerted rangers, who arrested the driver, who indeed had two passengers by the time thy reached Lower Sabie!


Weapons and ammo were confiscated, and they tried unsuccesfully to bribe the officials.

Boldness or stupidity

[Richprins]

Boldness! How did his two buddies get in in the first place!?

[Lisbeth]

Oops! I thought that they were the passengers

[Flutterby]

Very strange! Why would the guards let him in if he paid for two passengers but they weren't in the car?

[Richprins]

I think some gate officials/guards are in on it, myself...

MBOMBELA – The trial of three policemen and a former field ranger of the Kruger National Park was postponed in the Nelspruit Regional Court last Tuesday.
Constables Arnold Mashele, Morris Sehlabela and Dennis Mkhonto appeared in court alongside Mr Phineas Dinda when their case was postponed to March 4 for further investigation.
Lowvelder previously reported that Mashele, Sehlabele and Dinda had been arrested on May 27, 2014. They face charges of performing restricted activities in a national park being the hunting of a rhino and the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
Sehlabela, Dinda and Mkhonto attracted much attention when they appealed the White River Magistrate’s decision to deny their respective bail applications last year. These decisions were confirmed by the North Gauteng High Court in October 2014.
The four accused will remain in custody until their next court appearance.
