'They wanted to confiscate the mayor’s cellphone but we refused to hand it over as it was not listed in the warrant.'
Bobani’s Lawyer, Danie Gouws, confirmed that Hawks officials met the mayor at his office on Tuesday morning.
In the presence of Bobani’s legal representatives, the police searched his office before proceeding to his home.“They wanted to confiscate the mayor’s cellphone, but we refused to hand it over as it was not listed in the warrant,” said Gouws."We commend the police on a job well done, but they need to back off now as this is clearly a political ploy,” Gouws added.
