ANA reports that former national traffic officer Rodney Dakalo Ramusia, aged 29, has been sentenced to six years in jail for corruption by the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo.
Hawks (Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation) spokesperson Captain Matimba Maluleke said on Wednesday that last May Ramusia, in the company of a colleague, was caught red-handed with a R200 cash bribe he had solicited from law enforcement officers. “The two officials had stopped a Hawks vehicle just outside Naboomspruit and demanded a bribe in order not to issue a ticket. Unaware that they were dealing with Hawks serious corruption investigating members, Ramusia and his colleague were arrested on the spot immediately after accepting the bribe,” said Maluleke. Ramusia and the unnamed colleague were granted R1,000 bail each, but during the trial, charges against the latter were withdrawn. “Ramusia was left alone to answer to his immoral endeavour and on [Tuesday] he was slapped with a direct six-year sentence for corruption with no option of a fine,” said Maluleke.
