SAPS TORTURED AFRIKANER FARM FAMILY MALHERBE with CATTLE-PRODS, PLASTIC-BAG CHOKING TORTURE IN POTGIETERSRUST, JAN 28 2010 –
Heavily armed men in police uniforms who showed up in police vehicles tortured an Afrikaner farm family in Mokopane/Potgietersrust on January 28 2010 - tied them up, covered their heads in plastic bags and shocked them with cattle-prods. Injured were Okkie Malherbe (63) wife Emmerentia (53), of the Olem farm on Doelen, and watched by their little granddaughter Kaycee, 5. Malherbe's son WD, 34 said the attack took about two hours. The family had opened the door to their torturers because “they thought they were police officers”. Investigations found later that the attack-gang had indeed been members of the SAPS after investigators checked the police-vehicles’ number plates.
