'Their pursuit comes in the wake of an apparent elaborate plot to kidnap and murder current serving members within the leadership of Popcru.'
Mdletshe, the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union CEO, and another man, identified as Robert Sherriff, have allegedly been linked to a plot to kidnap and murder prominent Popcru senior officials. This was in a bid to cover tracks linking them to alleged corruption, said Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi in a statement.
“The investigation commenced in September this year and so far it has revealed there was apparent misappropriation of funds that was carried out through Popcru Investment Group of Companies . These substantial transactions were allegedly embezzled since 2016,” Mulaudzi said. “A Lesotho national, Neo Letele, was arrested in Kempton Park on November 6 2019. Letele is apparently the middleman who was instructed by Mdletshe and Sherriff to source the assassin, who was to be paid R1m to execute the hit. This was in an attempt to silence those who wanted the two suspects to account for the funds,” Mulaudzi said.
