A 33-year-old home affairs department official appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court on Thursday after she allegedly accepted a bribe from an illegal immigrant, Northern Province police reported. Captain Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said Rebecca Monisi was granted R1000 bail and the case was postponed until December 7. Monisi was arrested on Wednesday. ”We set a trap for her and she walked right into it. We arrested her when she accepted R2 000 from a Mozambican who wanted to become a South African citizen,” Mushavhanamadi said. – Sapa
