* A police sergeant and an alleged accomplice appeared in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court this week for allegedly trying to extort R50m from a Gauteng businessman. Sergeant Abdul Rahim and Abdool Yameen Sadik and two other police officials, who are still being sought by the Hawks' Serious Corruption Investigation, allegedly forced the businessman to pay them R50m to avoid being arrested for an alleged fraud case against him. The case has been postponed to 15 July for a formal bail application.
