The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has dismissed an application to have the criminal case against Richard Mdluli’s two co-accused struck off the roll.
Mdluli and his co-accused, former CI supply chain manager Heine Barnard and former CI chief financial officer Solomon Lazarus, appeared in the high court on Monday where the two applications were moved. He said this process could take months and if Mdluli was unsuccessful with the review, he might even appeal the decision in the apex courts.
From November 2020, Mdluli then allegedly refused to appear in court on several occasions, despite being in prison at the time. Rossouw explained that in 2020, Mdluli's legal team made it known that they would be bringing several applications. However, almost more than two years later, none of those applications had come to fruition.In making submissions about unreasonable delays, Rossouw told the court that Mdluli had received the outcome of SAPS' decision to decline legal funding in January this year, but only filed a review four months later.
