A MBOMBELA traffic cop still wants to be free.
Khanyisile Nyalunga, linked to a failed cash-in transit heist in Hazyview, Mpumalanga is set to appear in court on Wednesday, 2 August.
This will be Nyalunga's third time appearing before the Hazyview Magistrates Court in her attempt to be released on bail.
The 29-year-old faces charges of conspiracy to commit crime, robbery under aggravating circumstances, attempted murder and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
These charges date back to an incident on Thursday, 27 July when a grey Mercedes-Benz sedan rammed into an armoured security vehicle said to be travelling from White River to Hazyview escorted by a TSU vehicle.

Mpumalanga Hawks spokeswoman Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi said: “The suspects immediately started to shoot at the armoured vehicle, injuring the security guards who were then transported to hospital for medical treatment. The TSU also arrived and returned fire. According to information, the suspects fled in three other sedans."
Sekgotodi said witnesses revealed that the accused's vehicle was seen transporting the suspect and firearms which were used during the failed heist.
She said investigations into the matter led to Nyalunga's arrest on Friday, 28 July after stolen vehicles which were also seen at the crime scene were found parked in her yard.
"During the arrest, a silver Mercedes-Benz ML 250 stolen in Mhala in June 2023 and a Mercedes-Benz C Class stolen in Vosloorus in February 2021 were seized," she said.
