The
police officer allegedly crashed a SAPS van into a pole
A
Cape Town police officer was caught allegedly driving drunk after speeding down
a busy road before crashing into a pole.
Witnesses
say the man driving a police van sped down 6th Avenue in Eastridge, Mitchells
Plain, on Friday at 7pm.
He
allegedly hit a signpost after swerving to avoid a taxi that had stopped at a
pedestrian crossing near Cherry Lane.
The
cop was dressed in work boots and pants, with a casual green T-shirt.
Police
have confirmed that the officer, attached to the Public Order Policing in
Faure, has been arrested on a charge of drunk driving.
A
concerned resident says the cop van was “littered with liquor bottles, and the
cop could barely stand up straight”.
The
resident says the policeman was staggering up and down the street, slurring his
words as he swore at onlookers as they took photos and videos on their
cellphones.
A
witness explains: “He was walking around swearing at the people while they were
taking pictures of him, telling the people, ‘ja, julle vat foto's, ek skiet
julle in julle ma se * ***’ (Yes, you taking pictures, I will shoot you in your
mother's vagina).”
In
a short video clip shown to the Daily Voice, the man can be seen standing near
his van, looking dazed and confused, squinting bloodshot eyes.
The
resident says people called the police, and two vans with four police officers
pulled up.
But
instead of arresting the cop, the officers chatted to their colleague.
The
bystander says: “We asked the police why they don’t arrest this guy, but they
just made as if they didn’t hear us.”
By
7.30pm, 30 minutes after the accident, a senior member of the Mitchells Plain
police arrived on the scene.
“He
questioned the police officers as to why the drunk cop was not in custody,”
says the resident.
The
man was then loaded into the back of a police van and taken away.
“If
he wants to drink he should be off-duty in plain clothes and not using
government vehicles,” the man adds.
Police
spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut confirmed the cop’s arrest.
Traut
says: “A police warrant officer from Public Order Policing Faure was arrested
on 30 December 2016 in Mitchells Plain for driving an official police vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol.”
Traut
adds the cop faces both criminal charges and a disciplinary hearing.

In
summary, this article has sought to detail the experiences and discourse that
inform the current widespread lack of trust and public perception of corruption
in the SAPS. The ordinary citizens who participated in this study proposed
strongly that the simplest way for the SAPS to improve its legitimacy is
through basic improvements to its professionalism and service delivery. Ideal
police, as described by participants, would be competent, punctual, friendly,
respectful and patient.

Cops in South Africa
often arrest innocent victims of violent crimes and fabricate evidence to
convict them: examples:
After a year in prison Parktown North businessman Dieter Bergs was finally found innocent of murder & set free. Dieter Bergs spent a year being accused of murdering his wife but instead she was murdered by black home-invaders. The police failed to investigate all the available evidence at the murder scene because they had already arrested the white man, who then had to 'prove his innocence...' Dieter Bergs was finally found innocent of murder & set free.
After a year in prison Parktown North businessman Dieter Bergs was finally found innocent of murder & set free. Dieter Bergs spent a year being accused of murdering his wife but instead she was murdered by black home-invaders. The police failed to investigate all the available evidence at the murder scene because they had already arrested the white man, who then had to 'prove his innocence...' Dieter Bergs was finally found innocent of murder & set free.
Sept 20 2015 Johannesburg businessman Dieter Bergs, 79, was acquited on charges of killing his wife Genét by the Johannesburg Magistrates Court. The elderly man spent a year in limbo: accused of murder even though his wife was murdered by armed blacks during a home invasion in their Parktown North home.
Now the SAPS faces questions not only around the reliability of its ballistics
laboratory but also over whether it deliberately covered up the botched job.The
police didn’t respond to questions on this.“The damage and defamation done as a
result of that has been horrific,” said Bergs, who turns 80 on Sunday.Geneé
Bergs, 70, was shot dead in bed in their Parktown North home in March last
year. They had been married for 15 years.Bergs told police he had been in the
study and his wife was asleep when he heard two loud bangs.
When he went to
investigate, he saw an intruder. He ran after the man and was shot in the
hip.There were two guns in the house, both 7.65mm pistols – one that Bergs had
borrowed from a friend for protection and was kept next to the bed, and one
he’d acquired legally in 1976, but had lost and forgotten about.In late April
last year, Geneé’s family found Bergs’s 1976 gun in the house and handed it to
the police. SAPS forensic analyst Warrant Officer Thabo Seanego compared it to
the two spent cartridges – a 7.65mm spent bullet and a fragment of a fired
bullet jacket found at the murder scene.
Seanego’s affidavit
said that while the spent bullet and fragment couldn’t be linked to anything,
the cartridge cases from the crime scene had been fired by Bergs’s
gun.Seanego’s report was the case against Bergs.On September 23, Bergs was
arrested and charged with his wife’s murder.
He was released on
bail of R10 000, and the next day, a gardener found a gun in the Bergs’s
garden. This was the borrowed gun that was kept near the bed.Seanego inspected
this second gun and the crime scene evidence, and concluded that neither spent
bullet nor fragment was fired from this gun.But he didn’t mention the crucial
evidence – the two spent cartridge cases.Bergs’s lawyer, Joburg attorney Ian
Small-Smith, a consultant to BDK Attorneys, brought in independent forensic
ballistics expert Wollie Wolmarans.After weeks of haggling with police, Wolmarans
was able to get Bergs’s legal 1976 gun to compare with the crime scene
exhibits, under the watch of police expert Lieutenant-Colonel Lucas Visser, who
conducted his own tests.
Both Wolmarans and
Visser unequivocally ruled out Bergs’s gun as the murder weapon.
“There was not even
the faintest idea that these exhibits could have been fired from the same gun
as in their tests and my tests. There were not even likenesses,” said
Wolmarans. “It’s the worst I’ve ever had.”Both also concluded that someone had
tampered with the second firearm.Wolmarans wasn’t allowed access to the second
gun, but saw the spent cartridges from the tests on it, while Visser’s report
lists six points of damage – in other words tampering – on that weapon.That
damage wasn’t in Seanego’s report.“It wasn’t even mentioned that there was any
damage to the gun. That’s why we say there was some cover-up,” said BDK
attorney Johan Eksteen.
Wolmarans claimed the tampering was done by someone with more than a lay person’s knowledge.BDK attorney Piet du Plessis said: “This could have had damning consequences for Dieter. Can you imagine if we still had the death penalty?“The worst is that, having made the mistake, they kept quiet about it and it was left to us to discover.”Bergs plans to move to the Cape.
“I lost my first wife after 37 years of marriage to cancer. I then married Geneé five years later. She has died. My daughter died five years ago. It has been a heavy time,” he said.Bergs said he has survived due to his own “wonderful” family and friends, although Geneé’s family believed throughout that he was the killer and still don’t speak to him.
He doesn’t know if the police will ever find Geneé’s killer. “I hope they will.”

Young Afrikaner student Fred van der Vijver's hell of police-fabricated 'evidence' after mystery-murder of his girlfriend Inge Lotz: the real killers were never found: For ten months during 2007, the South African State had the wrong accused, but yet in their eagerness to finalize the matter and persecute the young white man in a dramatic court-room media event, crucial evidence was not only tampered with but also fabricated. It came to light during the trial and the subsequent appeals-proceedings that some of the evidence simply ‘disappeared’ after being removed from a judge’s office, making it near impossible to reinvestigate the case and to find the real murderer(s). Only the expert forensic investigations and evidence by top forensic experts were able to prove his innocence to the courts.

Young Soweto man wrongly arrested: spends 8 months on horror-prison as forced sex-slaves of gangs
Young Soweto man wrongly arrested: spends 8 months on horror-prison as forced sex-slaves of gangs
-- The New Age newspaper reported the shocking details of a young man named only as 'Sipho'. He told his story on a South African TV program in the presence of the South African police minister. The young man was arrested for, but never charged with murder.A case of mistaken identity was only discovered after the man had spent eight horrific months in jail.During that time the young man was repeatedly raped as a sex slave and forced into gang life within prison. Following his brief court appearance he was immediately transported to Diepkloof prison, better known as “Sun City”.
Sipho told The New Age, “This is very scary because you hear all these stories about prison and you don’t know what you might go through. So many things have been said about the gangs and the raping in prison.
“When I first arrived at Sun City I was approached by a fellow prisoner in D-Section, who threatened me with a number of horrible things before he told me I would be his ‘wife’. He made me one of his sex slaves within the 28s gang and raped me.”The police’s Gauteng provincial spokesperson, Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini, confirmed with The New Age that: “A case of murder was opened at the Sandton police station after his arrest on June 24, 2011. The only other information we have on the system is that his court case was postponed on December 6, 2011.”
Sipho is considering taking legal action against police, justice and correctional service officials who were involved in his wrongful imprisonment.

BRITS –
1October 2015 Fanie van der Westhuizen (54) was arrested for 'attempted murder'
and 'pointing a firearm' against a suspected thief. He was released on R5000
bail. He was not asked to plead to any charges.
He said in a statement that unknown black males were plundering bricks from his dam wall on Monday at 11am.
The
security company employees chased the looters away after the police failed to
respond to several calls. Around 15h30 an unknown vehicle drove up to his
homestead and dropped a man off at his dam wall.
That man
also started plundering the bricks from the wall.
Fanie
again called the security company and the police while driving to the dam.
The black
man dropped the looted bricks when he saw the Afrikaner farmer and ran in the
direction of the Sunway squatter camp.
Fanie
said he followed the man in his vehicle. The man ran and fell. Fanie climbed
out and said he saw the man make a movement which
had him believe the man had a stone or some kind of weapon he was going to
assault the farmer with.
Fanie
said he got his gun out but never pointed it. At that moment one of Fanie's
workers showed up with Fanie's neighbour and a large group of residents from
Sunwayu also rushed up and started assaulting the suspected thief.
Mr Van der Westhuizen's 'case' was postponed to next month to allow police to 'continue their investigation (PAGE GRAB)
