Notes
28yr-old Suspect arrested for alleged threats against the President, Mayor and CEO. The suspect was arrested on 23/05 in Germiston, Gauteng, following an investigation led by the Hawks’ Crime Against The State (CATS) unit, part of the Serious Organised Crime Investigation based in Gauteng.
The arrest stems from a case reported earlier this month. On Monday, 12/05, a complainant, who is the Chief Executive Officer of a Cape Town based company, allegedly received a voice message from the suspect, in which threats were made against the President of South Africa. The suspect is also alleged to have sent multiple threatening messages targeting the complainant, her family, and the Executive Mayor of Cape Town.
The matter was reported to the Cape Town based Hawks’ CATS team, which conducted a swift investigation resulting in the suspect’s apprehension in Gauteng.
The suspect is currently being transported to Cape Town and is expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 26/05, where he will face a charge of intimidation.
