Modack found guilty of corruption
Alleged underworld crime boss Nafiz Modack was found guilty of corruption charges in the Cape Town Regional Court on Friday.
A Cape Argus report says the conviction comes in the wake of a sentence that was handed down to former police Brigadier Kolindren Govender, who entered into a plea agreement with the state after he admitted that he had a corrupt relationship with Modack.
Hawks spokesperson, Zinzi Hani, said: ‘It was reported that during November 2011, Modack acted with a common purpose by paying gratification in a total amount of R146 000 to Govender in return for special treatment. He was also convicted of defeating the ends of justice by preventing his colleagues from performing their duties.’
Hani added: ‘Govender was handed five years imprisonment of which four-and-a-half years were suspended, on condition that he was not convicted of corruption.’
Friday’s case was postponed to 8 July 2025 for Modack to be sentenced.
