AUTHORITIES STOPPED MUMCY’S ARREST – RAMODIBEDI

MBABANE – Michael Ramodibedi, the suspended Chief Justice (CJ), has alleged that authorities advised that High Court Judge Mumcy Dlamini should not be arrested.

That was after the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) had asked the substantive CJ, now under suspension, to issue a warrant of arrest for her along with other co-accused.

The intended arrest emanated from allegations that Judge Dlamini issued a judgment in an estate case for the sale of a house which she later allegedly purchased and transferred it to her daughter’s name.
This was confirmed by Ramodibedi in an interview.

The suspended CJ chose to say: “the message (name withheld) was clear to everyone that the judge should not be arrested.”
He said he would not expand on the matter because it was very sensitive.
The Times SUNDAY has established that the suspended chief justice told the ACC that he would not issue the warrant of arrest before he had consulted with the authorities.

The suspended CJ is said to have claimed that he did not want the authorities to get it from the media that a judge of the High Court of Swaziland had been apprehended on the basis of a warrant of arrest issued by him.
This happened shortly after the ACC had allegedly concluded its investigations and expressed its readiness to test the validity of its evidence in court.
