Advocate Andrea Johnson was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa this week to head up the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)'s Investigating Directorate (ID).
Advocate Paul Pretorius is questioning the president on the state of the ministry, which Ramaphosa has just collapsed as he’s moved the security agency under his office.
The assets of Vincent Smith, his associates and his company will now remain in the hands of the State until the finalisation of the case against him.
Judge Ratha Mokgoatleng on Friday ruled that an upfront payment was not the only way to grant bail, but that assets including property could be used as surety.
The Investigating Directorate said the officer's arrest brought the number of suspects facing charges of corruption, fraud, money laundering, and theft to 13.
President Cyril Ramaphosa set up the directorate earlier this year to focus specifically on corruption and state capture cases.
