Theron was taking her disabled elderly friend to pay her municipal bills at the
Roodepoort City Hall in Berlandina Street.
According to the Roodepoort Record when the pair arrived, a JMPD van
was parked in the disabled bays. Theron asked a nearby officer to move the
vehicle.
The officer allegedly responded by
telling them to “find another f***ing parking”.
According to an affidavit Steven van
Eeden decided to get involved, telling the officer that the pair were elderly
and one of them was disabled.
“He got out of the vehicle and
started swearing at me, calling me a f***ing white a**hole,” Eeden said.
The officer also allegedly told
Eeden to not take his “white tendencies” out in public, while pushing Eeden
around.
Another officer in the vehicle
eventually managed to get the aggressive cop into the van - but not to stop his
swearing as they pulled out of the parking spot.
JMPD spokesperson Wayne Minnaar told
the Record that the victims should lodge a complaint so that internal affairs
could investigate the officer for misconduct.
