PICTURES SHOW EXCESSIVE FORCE USED BY BLACK-RACIST COP (ATTACHED)
June 5 2012: Hestia Kotze of Klerksdorp, rushing to be at dying dad's bedside, instead was was cursed for a 'bitch'; peppersprayed and assaulted by a black traffic official who refused to let her greet her dying father, blocking her from entering the clinic. The cop claimed he 'used minimum force'.

However Naspers journalist Nicolize van der Walt interviewed Mrs Kotze about the incident, which occurred on Saturday June 2 2012 on the N12 just after lunch, when she was driving to the Mediclinic in Potchefstroom. The hospital had called her to warn that her father Koot de Beer was dying. She said just before the Ikageng-entrance to the highway, a black traffic official signaled her to pull over. "I moved to the other lane and signalled for him him, that I needed his help. My main-beams and emergency lights were on.' The official, named as Pape Hadebe, followed her car, made a sudden turn in front of her car, jumped from his vehicle. She drove around him, pointed at her watch she said and gestured to him to follow her. She drove to the Mediclinic - where Hadebe blocked the entrance with his car.

She climbed out and wanted to run to the entrance - "I just wanted to get to my dad. The official pushed me against the fence. He wanted to handcuff me while I told him my father was dying. Part of the black police officer's 'minimum force' was his sexist cursing of the Afrikaner woman. He said: "Shut Up Bitch.' She said she pleaded with him on her knees, when in handcuffs and he had an elbow to her neck and a knee against her spine."I pleaded with him - then he sprayed me with pepper spray. Then I was hysterical,' she said.

Eyewitnesses were horrified, saying Mrs Kotze was roughly thrown to the ground, while Hadebe put an elbow against her neck and his knees on her spine: it could have snapped. Personnel, bystanders, even a dominee pleaded with the man to let her see her dying father atthe clinic where the cop had stopped and arrested her. Instead he rushed her to jail. All the charges against her were withdrawn in Potchefstroom magistrate's court. She never saw her father before he died.
