27 March 2017
Johannesburg - The alleged mastermind behind the robbery at the office of the chief justice was assaulted by police after he handed himself over on Friday, his lawyer said.
Dressed in a black jack, dark pants, with a short Mohawk hairstyle, Nkosinathi Msimango appeared in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Monday afternoon.
He nodded to a woman who was seated in the packed court gallery as he walked to the dock.
"He was slapped around and interrogated after he handed himself over... he was booked back to the cells at 01:00 [on Saturday morning]," his lawyer Marchand Kilian told the court.
