Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A KwaZulu-Natal traffic officer who tried to solicit a R10 000 bribe from a motorist was convicted of corruption in the Greytown Regional Court this week.<\/p>\n

Dumisani Mchunu, 45, who was based at the Umvoti municipality, was convicted and sentenced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Eastern Cape Anti-Gang Unit cop arrested for murder of her patrol partner<\/p>\n

He demanded the R10 000 after claiming that the motorist’s licence disc was fraudulent, Hawks spokesperson Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The complainant reported the matter to Hawks members from [the] Durban Serious Corruption Investigation [team] and an undercover operation was conducted on 3 March 2022. He was arrested at his place of employment and charged for corruption,” Mhlongo added.<\/p>\n

He appeared in court several times before he was convicted and sentenced, Mhlongo said.<\/p>\n

The court sentenced him to four years in prison but half of it must be served under correctional supervision.<\/p>\n
