Durban - Durban businessman Toshan Panday and his
co-accused Colonel Navin Madhoe appeared briefly in the KwaZulu-Natal High
Court in Durban on Monday on bribery and corruption charges.
The matter was postponed to 11 February 2013 for the State to
finalise its investigation.
Panday and Madhoe are accused of trying to bribe
KwaZulu-Natal Hawks' boss Major-General Johan Booysen.
They allegedly offered him R2m to backdate a report on an
investigation into accommodation tenders worth R60m.
The State said it had new evidence, consisting of
recordings of intercepted telephone calls.
Defence attorney Jimmy Howse, for Panday, asked the State
to provide him with the recordings.
He also sought access to outstanding items that would be
used as evidence.
The State had to provide the defence with copies of hard
drives, flash drives and computer discs.
