CITY 'SHERIFF' SMITH TAKES SAPS TO COURT OVER JAN OFFICE RAID
JP SMITH has filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court against the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the magistrate.
The City sheriff is accusing them of procedural dishonesty, bad faith, and reputational harm following the high-profile raid on his office earlier this year, with SAPS saying they were investigating Smith's alleged links to suspects arrested in connection with the alleged Construction Mafia case.
These include former Housing Mayco Member Malusi Booi, alleged 28s gang boss Ralph Stanfield and his wife Nicole Johnson.
The Mayco Member for Safety and Security said he approached the court on 17 April, alleging that the search and seizure warrants used during the 24 January 2025 raid were "unlawfully obtained," and based on "falsehoods, errors, and critical omissions."
