A 62-year-old alleged leader of the PAGAD G Force gang appeared in court on Wednesday, on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
Moegsien Barendse made his
brief court appearance in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court following his arrest
earlier in the day.
Hawks spokesperson, Zinzi
Hani, says Barendse faces accusations of conspiring to murder the investigating
officer and the magistrate presiding over the bail application of his two sons.
‘’This comes after the Hawks’
Crimes Against the State team based in Bellville received a complaint of
conspiracy to commit murder on 18 November,’’ said Hani.
‘’The information was then
followed up and, through an extensive investigation, the information revealed
that Barendse conspired with other members of Pagad G Force to assassinate the
two officials."
The matter against Barendse
was postponed to 17 January 2023 for a bail application.
