Former Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi filed papers applying for leave to appeal his conviction and sentence on Tuesday. Earlier this month Selebi was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He had until Friday this week to lodge papers.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Mthunzi Mhaga confirmed they received Selebi’s documents. “That is correct that we have received Mr Selebi’s application for leave to appeal, which we will oppose and argue on dates which are yet to be arranged when the judge and both parties are available,” he said.
