This about equivalent as if FBI boss(head of FBI) would ran away from the court...I probably don't have to explain to you that running away means only a self admission into crime !!! If you have any information on the criminal, please contact above number or me personally and I will take care that for you.....

Warrant of arrest issued for former Hawks head
The arrest was issued after Dramat missed his court appearance on Friday.
A warrant of arrest for former Hawks head Anwa Dramat has been issued by the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court.
The arrest was issued after Dramat missed his court appearance on Friday.
Dramat and his co-accused, suspended Gauteng Hawks boss Major-General Shadrack Sibiya and Colonel Lesley Maluleke, were supposed to appear before Magistrate Lydia Painter on four counts of kidnapping, two counts of defeating the ends of justice and one count of contravention of the Immigration Act.
Painter ordered that a warrant for Dramat’s arrest be authorised but held until Dramat’s next court date, where he would be expected to state reasons why he failed to appear before the court.
The matter was postponed to 30 September.
Meanwhile, Sibiya and Maluleke await responses on their applications for legal financial assistance from police minister Nathi Nhleko. A similar request by Dramat had previously been granted.
Defence lawyer Victor Nkhwashu, who is representing all three accused, said the reason Dramat did not show up for court was to avoid fruitless expenditure by travelling to Gauteng from Cape Town where he stays for a short postponement.
Nkhwashu appealed to expedite Sibiya and Maluleke’s financial assistance so that the matter could be heard as soon as possible.
The trio were all released on R5 000 bail and await a court appearance at the North Gauteng High Court from 10 October to early December.
Attempts to contact the National Prosecuting Authority were unsuccessful at the time of publishing.
