Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of Correctional Services confirmed on Tuesday that former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli has been placed on parole.<\/p>\n

Mdluli was serving a five-year sentence for the kidnapping and assault of his former lover Tshidi Buthelezi, her husband Oupa Ramogibe, and a friend Alice Manana, in 1998.<\/p>\n

Because Mdluli committed the crime in 1998, he fell under the “Phaahla judgment” regime – crimes committed before 1 October 2004 – meaning that his eligibility for parole has been determined on a previous parole regime.<\/p>\n

As such, Mdluli was considered for parole after serving a third of his sentence.<\/p>\n

The Minimum Detention Period (MDP) for Mdluli ended on 28 May 2022, but he could not be considered for parole at the time due to a pending court case, department spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said.<\/p>\n

News24 previously reported that Mdluli, while still serving a prison sentence for the kidnapping and assault, had applied for bail in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria in an apparent attempt to get parole.<\/p>\n

Richard Mdluli to apply for bail, but not yet eligible for parole<\/p>\n

Mdluli was then granted bail of R10 000 in his slush fund corruption case.<\/p>\n

Mdluli is an accused – along with former supply chain manager Heine Barnard and former chief financial officer Solomon Lazarus – in a corruption, fraud and theft case relating to the alleged looting of a police slush fund between 2008 and 2012 when the three were at the helm of Crime Intelligence.<\/p>\n

The department originally told News24 that Mdluli wouldn\u2019t be eligible for parole because he had a pending corruption case.<\/p>\n

However, it appears that this position was reconsidered after Mdluli was granted bail.<\/p>\n

The department said:<\/p>\n

Mdluli was originally out on a warning in the slush fund case, however the High Court revoked this and ordered that he be held in custody after missing several court appearances.<\/p>\n

These appearances were missed while Mdluli was serving his sentence in prison.<\/p>\n
