Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 36156, member: 636"] Former farm minister Mac Hengari will remain behind bars after the Windhoek court said he might run away or talk to witnesses. The judge denied him bail Monday for trying to block justice. His next court date is June 3. Police nabbed Hengari during the weekend when he tried to pay off a rape victim with N$230 000. This bribe attempt earned him more legal trouble. His family stood outside the courthouse to show support, but things look bad as more charges pile up. Officials plan to charge him under anti-corruption laws for messing with police work. Law officers caught Hengari through a setup near an Eros restaurant. The victim's family member tricked him into coming there. Police showed up around 5:30 Saturday evening to make the arrest. [/QUOTE]
