A KwaZulu-Natal man charged with the hijacking off of an off-duty police officer appeared in the Durban magistrate’s court on Monday.
Mbongeni Siwisa, 33, is charged with carjacking and possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Prosecutor Calvin Govender said the state alleged Siwisa hijacked Const Sibusiso Mqadi who is attached to Greenwood Park police station.
โThere is another outstanding investigation related to a second police officer who was also hijacked. His statement has still not been filed,โ said Govender.
The state opposed bail and Siwisa has enlisted a private lawyer.
