"He was found guilty of soliciting money from stock thieves in order to withdraw their cases," spokesperson Brigadier Thulane Ngubane said.
The court found on Friday that Constable GJ Molamu, 34, had on several occasions met two suspects facing charges of stock theft. Molamu, based at the stock theft unit in Wolmaransstad, had promised to withdraw their cases in exchange for money.
"He had already been paid R3000 before he was arrested in 2011."
A trap was set for him and he was arrested when one of the alleged stock thieves handed him R2000 at a filling station in Wolmaransstad.
