The bail application of nine policemen implicated in the death of a Daveyton taxi driver resumes in the Benoni Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

The matter was previously postponed on July 30 because a new lawyer joined the defence team and needed to consult with his clients.

This would be the policemen's second bail application, after they were denied bail in March.

Taxi driver Mido Macia was filmed being tied to the back of a police van and dragged along a street in Daveyton on February 26. Police confronted him because his taxi was apparently blocking traffic.

A scuffle ensued and he was taken to the local police station, where he was found dead in the holding cells several hours later.

The accused are Thamsanqa Ncema, Linda Sololo, Meshack Malele, Motome Walter Ramatlou, Percy Mnisi, Bongumusa Mdluli, Sipho Ngobeni, Lungisa Ewababa, and Bongani Kolisi.
