Krejcir is expected to appear alongside Siboniso Miya, Sandton businessman Desai Luphondo, and two members of the Hawks, warrant officers Samuel Modise Maropeng and George Jeff Nthoroane.
 
   
Four of the men were arrested in November. Miya was arrested in January.
 
 
In June last year, they allegedly kidnapped and assaulteda man whose brother, known only as "Doctor", disappeared with a 25kg shipment of tik he had been recruited to help smuggle through OR Tambo International Airport.
 
   
They are accused of keeping the man at Krejcir's Money Point business in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, for four days, and assaulting him.
   
 
On January 10, the High Court in Johannesburg denied Krejcir leave to appeal the dismissal of his application for bail by the Palm Ridge Regional Court on December 13.
 
 
 
At their last court appearance on January 24, the court heard that Miya was assaulted and not fed while in police custody.
 
   
Miya's lawyer handed in an application for him to be moved from the Krugersdorp police station to the Johannesburg prison.
 
 
 
The case was postponed to allow for investigations to be concluded.
