The National Prosecution Authority (NPA) spokesperson, Phaladi Shuping, confirms that Noxolo Job, accused of bribery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and theft, will appear for today.

Job is out on R5000 bail after her arrest on 8 October 2019. She was busted following a joint operation by the Hawks and crime intelligence.

The provincial Hawks spokesperson, Lynda Steyn, previously told OFM News that the suspect was allegedly paid R30 000 for her efforts, which on receipt led to her downfall and stolen firearms being seized - including her service pistol, vehicle and cell phone.

Steyn said an operation was activated where the accused met up with the "robbers" and handed them her state firearm to commit a robbery.

“A while later the two ‘criminals’ emerged with the alleged loot - two) R5 rifles with 2 magazines and 96 rounds of ammunition as well as four 9mm pistols with 11 magazines and 165 rounds of ammunition,” she further said.

Earlier the state opposed bail but at her second appearance on 23 October, State prosecutor Johan de Vries told the Magistrate, Ryan Ishmail, they would no longer oppose bail - but wanted stricter bail conditions imposed.
