Pretoria – Suspended Pretoria chief magistrate Desmond Nair on Wednesday appeared before Pretoria Commercial Crimes Court on corruption charges.
However, Nair’s case was postponed to 20 August 2024, for him to make representations to the office of the National Director of Public Prosecutions, requesting investigations and intervention, as placed on record by his attorney.
Nair is facing charges of corruption for allegedly receiving security upgrades, valued at approximately R200 000 to his Silverton home, provided by African Global Operations, formerly known as BOSASA in September 2016.
The upgrades include an electric fence, alarm system, perimeter beams, and CCTV system.
The gratification was allegedly offered and received by Nair for him to act dishonestly or improperly in his influential position as an officer of the judiciary.
The court warned Nair to avail himself when the matter sits on 20 August 2024.
