A policeman with 24 years' service has died inside a police holding cell while waiting for his drug-dealing and racketeering trial to start.
Captain Sakhepi Shange was one of four senior West Rand police officers arrested in March and charged with intercepting drugs on the way to forensic labs and selling them to the criminal underworld.
Shange, 43, died in the early hours of Friday morning after falling ill the previous weekend and being taken to hospital and back at least twice. The cause of death - which comes two-and-a-half months before his trial was due to start - is unknown.
