Johannesburg - Medical doctor Nkate Mamoepa intimidated his co-accused when they were arrested in November last year on charges of stealing state medicine, Kabokweni magistrate's court in Mpumalanga was told on Thursday.
SABC radio news reported that the court heard earlier that police found large quantities of stolen medical supplies in the house of male nurse Sonnyboy Nkosi.
Nkosi then led the police to Mamoepa's surgery.
Inspector Daniel Lombaard testified that Mamoepa was angry and pushed Nkosi around.
Mamoepa and Nkosi have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
