Johannesburg - A Germiston man has laid charges with police after he was allegedly assaulted by two police officers in front of his hysterical toddlers.

Bruce Swart told
Beeld how he had been driving back from dinner with friends with his fiancée Natashia van Zyl and their sons Jayden, 4, and Justin, 2, when he was pulled over by two members of the dog unit.

“They pulled me from my vehicle and threw me against the pavement. One of the men’s hands was around my neck. It felt like I was being strangled,” said Swart.

He said: “Both the men were very aggressive and arrogant. They asked to see my driver’s licence…I shook a lot and asked if I could just drive back to my friends’ house to look for my wallet.”

The officers agreed but at the gate of the security complex the men got out of the car and started assaulting him.

His oldest son, Jayden, started screaming hysterically.

“I tried to calm him down but he was just really scared. It probably looked to him like they were killing his dad,” said Swart’s fiancée.

She said both of their sons were traumatised by the incident.

Swart was arrested on charges of reckless driving and possession of a stolen vehicle, even when Swart tried to convince them that his car’s registration documents were in the cubby hole.

Swart said R400 was taken from his wallet.

CCTV footage from the security complex showed how the police officers searched the car and looked at Swart’s driver’s licence as well as car registration papers.

All charges against Swart were dropped the following day.

A police spokesperson said the incident was being investigated.

Police station turned gun-shop
August 20 2009 at 06:13am

 Aubrey Tshamana, a clerk at Alexandra police station, appears in court.

A clerk working inside the Alexandra police station has been arrested for selling high-calibre R-5 rifles and handguns from police safes to the criminal underworld.
Detectives from the Joburg Organised Crime Unit are investigating whether the weapons sold were used by syndicates in the recent spate of violent robberies at shopping malls.
The administrative clerk from the station's logistics unit may have sold as many as six R-5 rifles and 16 handguns that should have been used by officers at his station and the Sandton police station. Police sources close to the investigation say the guns have not been recovered and may have been sold for as little as R3 500 for a rifle and R1 000 for a handgun.
A police weapons expert said this was roughly one-third of their worth.
It's suspected the sales could have been going on since March.
"We're fighting these guys on the streets and our own is arming them," one angry police officer from an affected station said on Thursday.
A lot of questions about how the weapons were allowed to vanish from the safes, and why it took several months before the crime was spotted, now need answering.
Aubrey Tshamana was arrested on Monday after it was discovered that the weapons were missing.
The 26-year-old appeared in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court (previously Wynberg Magistrate's Court), where State prosecutor Adele Barnard charged him with theft and possession of unlicensed firearms.
His case was postponed to the week after next and he will be kept at high-risk holding cells.
During questioning, he allegedly gave police several leads that led to two further arrests.
The pair, who are civilians, were likely to appear in court today. They are suspected of either buying the weapons or helping to sell them.
When asked why police had brought the docket to court after 11am, an unidentified police officer from the Organised Crime Unit - who escorted Tshamana - said the delay was because he was ordered to report first at the police's provincial head office.
"It's a massive thing," he told the court.
Magistrate Renier Boshoff then said: "He can probably tell you who he sold the guns to. He can probably solve a few cases if you investigate properly."
A police source at the Alexandra police station said Tshamana worked in the logistics department, which sources and distributes firearms, vehicles and other equipment. He allegedly managed to order weapons from the Sandton police station for the purpose of selling them.
"He had access," the source said. "And that's why he managed to get away with it."
Tshamana is a civilian working at the police station. He has allegedly been there for more than five years.
Detectives are trying to trace the recipients of the weapons in an attempt to get them back. If their efforts to link the weapons to armed robberies at malls pay off, they could be in a position to charge Tshamana with much more serious crimes.

Girl, 3, locked in police cell
2013-02-03 09:12

Johannesburg – Police say they are investigating an incident in which a little girl was locked up in a police cell with her father.

Rapport reported how Hazyview resident Charlie Niemann, 29, was arrested on 6 January for drunk driving and thrown in an icy cold police cell with Cherise, 3, who was barefoot and only wearing pyjamas.

Niemann said he had drunk two beers earlier in the evening but denied being drunk when he drove down to the cafe to buy milk for his daughter and cigarettes for himself.

Police officers took the toddler to the police station and refused to take her home or let the child’s dad make a phone call.

“It was terrible. My child was hysterical. The officials were inhuman. They even refused to give her water. When we got there and Cherise was crying, one threatened to throw her in a police cell if I couldn’t get her to calm down.”

His wife, Stephanie, 30, who was pregnant with the couple’s second child, said she expected the worst when the two didn’t come back from the café.

"We have taken Cherise to a counsellor and she is getting better. But she is scared of police officers. Whenever she sees a police car, she looks for her dad and starts crying hysterically.”


Niemann has laid a charge against the police with the independent complaints directorate.


A police spokesperson said it was illegal to lock up a child in a police cell and said it would be investigated.

O’Sullivan to lay charges against police

Paul O'Sullivan and his legal advisor Sarah Jane Trent speak to the media outside of court. (SABC)

Private investigator Paul O'Sullivan plans to lay more charges against police for the weekend arrest of his legal advisor, Sarah Jane Trent.

Trent appeared briefly in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court where the matter was postponed until May 19.

This comes after O'Sullivan was himself arrested on Monday night. He was later released.

Trent faces charges of impersonating an Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) officer and fraud.

Police arrested her on Friday. She was released on R5000 bail on Sunday night.

She describes her arrest saying, "I was abducted. They came to the office on Friday afternoon at around  16:20. The warrant of arrest was issued on the Wednesday 08. But they waited for Friday and they then took me to a petrol station at Marlboro Drive and kept me for an hour and a half."

Following his own arrest on Monday night, O'Sullivan wants the police officers involved in both arrests to face the music.

He alleges that Acting National Police Commissioner, Kgomotso Phahlane, is behind the arrests.

"The charges will be abduction, defeating the ends of justice and racketeering and we say its racketeering, which carries a life sentence by the way. We say they are guilty of racketeering because they are unlawfully and intentionally doing what

they're doing to us to disrupt an investigation into a corrupt chief of police.

I know because I have seen the weight of evidence that I have been able to gather. That man will go to prison."

On Monday night, the High Court in Pretoria declared O'Sullivan's arrest unlawful.

In 2016, the court ruled that police must give O'Sullivan 48 hours' notice before detaining him.

Police officer flees scene after accident
March 22, 2017

An allegedly drunk police officer crashed into the back of a vehicle at an intersection in Fort Jackson on Monday evening before allegedly fleeing the scene.
https://i0.wp.com/www.dispatchlive.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Renault-Clio.jpg?fit=1200%2C720 
SMASHED: The damaged Renault Clio Picture: SUPPLIED
The incident occurred just after 8pm on Monday, when two adults and a toddler travelling in a Renault Clio stopped at a stop sign in Fort Jackson and were bashed by a police bakkie from behind.
Vehicle owner Noxolo Yekela, who was driving the Clio with her mother and five-year-old daughter in the back seat, said it could have been a lot worse for them.
“The police bakkie came at high impact speed, to such an extent it moved my car from the stop sign to the white line in the middle of the road,” she said.
“My biggest concern was my daughter who was seated in the back seat.”
Yekela said the police officer driver of the state vehicle, who appeared to be drunk, fled the scene.
“Fortunately the police vehicle was branded and it was labelled Buffalo Flats CSC, which made it easy for us to identify and we called the station to alert them to what had happened. Eventually they arrived to assess the scene.”
Police spokeswoman Hazel Mqala confirmed the incident.
“An on-duty police officer was dispatched to the scene and found the police vehicle unattended after crashing into a light motor vehicle,” said Mqala.
“The police officer driving the vehicle was nowhere to be found which is why we cannot confirm whether or not he had been drunk at the time.”
Mqala said that according to a vehicle register the policeman was on duty at the time but had since taken some days off due to the “shock” of the accident.
