Two Durban police officers who took a bribe have been jailed for ten years.
Sergeants Musawenkosi Mabaso and Thulani Dlangalala were arrested three years ago after promising to release a suspected reckless and negligent driver in exchange for R7 500.
The pair had been sent to process the man - who had been detained at King Shaka International Airport.
The suspect is said to have phoned his father, who then paid the officers a portion of the amount, before alerting police.
The KZN NPA s Natasha Kara says the Hawks set up a sting operation for the handing over of the remainder of the cash.
