The Metro

hearing said Johannesburg Metro Police Department’s (JMPD) Edna Mamonyane.
Speaking
to Eyewitness

stationed in Dobsonville and is now behind bars.
“We will
wait for him. Once he comes back we will remove his uniform from him,” she was
quoted as saying.
Last
week, it was reported the officer drugged and raped his neighbour’s daughter in
his Braamfischerville home.
The
accused JMPD officer appeared in court on Monday and is expected to apply for
