Relatives and employees of alleged gang leader Ralph Stanfield claim their arrest by the Hawks, involving a R4.6 million cash seizure, has prevented them from securing government contracts.
This allegation was made in the Bellville Magistrates’ Court on Friday, as Stanfield’s brother, Kyle, appeared alongside his mother-in-law, Barbara Johnson, and employees Suraya Manual and Nondabula Phakamisa on charges of defeating the ends of justice.A week later, Johnson was arrested during a raid at her Mitchell’s Plain home, where police confiscated cellphones, hard drives, and computers allegedly linked to Glomix CC, a construction company owned by Stanfield’s wife, Nicole.
Manual had worked as a freelance accountant for the couple, while Phakamisa is a quantity surveyor for Glomix CC. The group was released on R10 000 bail and returned to court on Friday. The State prosecutor stated that detectives were still analysing over 22 000 files from the confiscated cellphones. Hendricks objected to the delay, noting that the investigation had already taken four months and was causing his clients financial hardship by preventing them from continuing their business and obtaining government contracts.
