Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department officials who were in the Tsakane Magistrate's Court to support their colleagues, have received a tongue-lashing from the magistrate for wearing their hats in court.
The State said it opposed bail over fears the EMPD officers would intimidate witnesses and conceal evidence. They were granted R3000 bail.
An irritated magistrate lambasted the Gauteng police for their failure to deal with lawlessness and intimidation of court officials.
Seven Ekurhuleni metropolitan police department (EMPD) officers who were arrested following the death of a man in Tsakane last month were granted bail on Friday.
EMPD and SAPS officers, in uniform and civilian clothes, stood by as the men shouted and hurled insults. Some officers were seen running to their vehicles and driving off.
