Lusanda Bill
17 August 2010
Former national police commissioner Jackie Selebi has lodged an application to appeal his 15-year prison sentence today.
Selebi was convicted on charges of corruption earlier this month.
He has until Friday this week to lodge his papers after he had been given 14 days to lodge the papers.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Mthunzi Mhaga said “That is correct that we have received Mr Selebi’s application for leave to appeal, which we will oppose and argue on dates which are yet to be arranged when the judge and both parties are available,”.
No date has been set for the hearing yet.
