# The defence representing Witness K has urged the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court not to reveal her identity, arguing she testified in camera before the Madlanga commission. The state says her identity must be confirmed, claiming it cannot verify she is the same witness. The inspector of the Johannesburg Metro Police’s VIP protection unit appeared alongside suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi. Both face charges linked to the alleged theft of precious stones worth 14.9-million-rand following an Independent Police Investigative Directorate investigation.
