Operation Dudula leader granted bail

Nhlanhla ‘Lux’ Dlamini, the commander of the vigilante group Operation Dudula, has been granted R1 500 bail by the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court.

The head of Operation Dudula has been identified as Ntlantla ‘Lux’ Mohlauhi by the authorities.

Dlamini appeared in court on Monday morning after being arrested last week on counts of malicious property damage, theft, and burglary.

The allegations stem from an incident earlier this month in which operatives of Operation Dudula raided the house of Soweto resident Victor Ramerafe in search of narcotics.

As part of his bail conditions, Dlamini is not allowed to make contact with the complainant.

The case was postponed to 27 May.
