On Thursday, 17 February, two police officers from the Cape Town Central station appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on corruption charges after reportedly attempting to accept a bribe from a naked couple near Table Mountain.
Sergeants Lundi Meti, 38, and Moenieb Rhoda, 47, were arrested on Wednesday by members of the police anti-corruption unit after they reportedly sought to extort members of the public on December 14, 2021.
“It is reported that the suspects approached a couple romancing in their vehicle on Table Mountain Road.
“The pair was charged with public indecency and had to pay a fine to avoid arrest,” said SAPS spokeswoman Sergeant Siyabonga Dyantyi.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said Rhoda and Meti both face a single count of corruption.
The pair was released on R3000 bail each.
Their next court appearance is expected on 13 April 2022 as the matter was postponed for further investigation.
