Daughter of former Hawks boss due to appear on ‘threat to kill’ charge.

Awarrant of arrest has allegedly been issued for the daughter of former Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza after she failed to appear in court on intimidati­on and crimen injuria charges related to threats made against a former police officer.

Believed to be based with the Hawks, Anele Ntlemeza is alleged to have threatened to kill former police captain Boitumelo Ramahlaha, She reportedly failed to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court last week.

“A person, not an attorney and unknown to the court, appeared and handed up a sick note,” said forensic consultant Paul O’Sullivan. “A warrant was issued for her arrest to secure her attendance in court on September 17.”

Following Ramahlaha’s claims of defeating the ends of justice for failing to take action against former captain Thomas Rallele, who was found to have falsified vehicle log entries because he was dating Ntlemeza’s other daughter, Ramahlaha received a phone call.

“Listen to me, Tumi, I don’t f ***** g give a damn, listen to me now. Stop f ***** g harassing my family or I will come after you with everything I’ve got. Put me on record that I will even go to and kill you, do you know that? You think you are clever? If I ever hear that you make contact and insult my sister and tell her nonsense, I will personally kill you. Send it to the media, I do not f ***** g give a damn,” some of the clearer parts of a recorded phone call, alleged to be between Anele Ntlemeza and Ramahlaha, reflect.

Ntlemeza is allegedly also wanted by Sunnyside detectives for a drunk driving case dating back to October 1, 2016, when she was arrested for apparently being four times over the legal limit.

At the time of going to press, the NPA was unable to confirm a warrant had been issued.

O’Sullivan has accused Hawks spokespers­on Brigadier Hangweni Mulaudzi of facilitati­ng her release on R500 bail the morning following her arrest, “by which time she had not even sobered up”.

“I would therefore like to know on what legal basis you interfered with, or obstructed the process of justice and how you were notified and by whom, to attend at Sunnyside and unlawfully direct her to be released on bail,” O’Sullivan wrote to Mulaudzi.

Mulaudzi said he had been at Maseru border gate on official business during that week and part of October 1. “Saturday (201610-01) late afternoon and Sunday (2016-10-02) I was in consultati­on at DPCI head office in preparatio­n for a disciplina­ry hearing in Polokwane,” he said. –

Put me on record that I will even go to and kill you, do you know that?
