A court interpreter from Mpumalanga allegedly approached an accused person and promised him he would withdraw his cases if he paid him.

Pretoria - The Bushbuckridge Magistrate's Court in Mpumalanga has remanded Busizwe Zizwe Zitha, a court interpreter based in Mkhuhlu, in custody after he appeared on Monday charged with corruption.

“The arrest followed a complaint from the victim who alleged that between January and March 2021, he was approached by the accused after he was released on bail for two cases of violation of a protection order and assault demanding cash, claiming that he will withdraw his two cases,” said Sekgotodi.
