South Africa's former deputy police chief facing sexual offenses denied bail

South Africa's embattled former Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sabir has been denied bail by the Randburg Magistrates Court. The 59-year-old faces multiple charges, including raping an 18-year-old, human trafficking and the alleged sexual grooming of a 16-year-old girl. The National Prosecuting Authority says it welcomes the decision. We're not talking about happiness. All we can say is that justice has been served. Our job as the prosecutors is to give all the facts before the magistrate and we have succeeded to give the facts and the court has decided that bail will be denied which is what we have been saying that we want to oppose bail and we were successful. The NPA argued that Sabir could interfere with witnesses or attempt to flee the country. It says it's prepared to oppose any appeal against the ruling. Sabir, who resigned from the police service earlier this month following his arrest in September, has denied all the charges.
