# The suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and his co-accused, known as Witness K, have each been granted five-thousand-rand bail by the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court. The pair face charges including theft, robbery, fraud and corruption linked to the alleged theft of sugilite stones worth nearly 15-million-rand during a purported police raid in Killarney in 2023. Mkhwanazi denies the allegations, claiming Witness K fabricated evidence against him following the breakdown of their relationship.
