Minister of Police must pay R300,000 plus interest for wrongful, unlawful arrest

Posted on Leave a comment

The Constitutional Court ordered that the Minister of Police pay R300,000 plus interest since 2012 to Brian de Klerk for an unlawful, illegal, arrest.

A person has complained to De Klerk even though he had punched the complainant and was therefore injured, and the police decided to arrest De Klerk on the strength of it.

The law stipulates that a person must appear in court within 48 hours, but De Klerk has been in custody longer without being given the opportunity to state his case.

He was also not given the opportunity to apply for bail upon his first appearance in court, and had to return to the cells.

After the events, he decided to sue the Minister of Police, and the judge gave him the opportunity to state his case, and then ordered the police to show up.

Posted on Leave a comment

PRETORIA – Tshwane MMC for community safety and emergency services Karen Meyer on Monday said she had received reports and footage showing that members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) are involved in drug dealing.

Community members, mainly taxi drivers, on Monday assaulted suspects who had been arrested by police officers, before setting their premises on fire.

“Tshwane Emergency Services personnel were prevented by the crowds from accessing and treating the alleged drug peddlers, but they were also prevented from doing so by the SAPS to extinguish the fire.

“Although it was a volatile situation, they should protect the emergency services to fulfill their tasks. This was also the case during the events earlier this month elsewhere in the CB

What is the police hiding? Why don’t they want to investigate the Death of Nadia Stephanie Bond? Could it be that the suspect’s daddy attains a high position or have friends with high ranks?

Posted on Leave a comment

After numerous attempts requesting the SAPS to address the corruption and incompetence by SAPS Members regarding the death of my child NADIA STEPHANIE BOND (8) I received another e-mail from the SAPS Major General HS Burger of the WC: MI Complaints Nodal Point that they will not re-open the investigation. Which to me means that the SAPS refuses to take action against Corruption and Incompetence within it’s ranks while I have AMPLE proof thereof!

As a father and fellow South African I responded to them with the following e-mail (below) which I make public and Pray for YOUR support to force the SAPS to address my complaints. I established the NPO: Bond Against Drunk Driving BADD (Bond against Drunk Driving) www.badd.co.za in an effort to campaign to save lives after my child was killed – The truth is, we need to fight for the State to start investigating these crimes thoroughly and competently – I am not suggesting that every Drunk driver kil
