Two black SA police officers charged for helping rapist escape

09:15 Aug 13 2012 Pretoria North

The girl was found nearly dead: the Pretoria University student had been stabbed 23 times. She was stabbed so fiercely that one of the knife-points had snapped off inside her skull, doctorssaid.

On Monday August 13 20122 SAPS student constanble Mphikeledi Alfred Mahlanga 39 & warrant officer Amos Chris Masilela 48 appeared in the Pretoria North Regional Court on charges of helping the alleged rapist of this student escape on Friday-night. Beeld newspaper writes that the two police members apparently took the accused man to Dr George Mukhari hospital in Ga-Rankuwa in northern Pretoria without handcuffs or shackles after he "complained of feeling ill". He then escaped through a toilet window. According to the charge sheet, the police officials were arrested that same day and later released on a warning. The matter was postponed for them to obtain legal representation.O utside court, the two followed Beeld's photographer after he took their picture.

They took cellphone pictures of him and his car’s registration number.Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said on Monday that an internal investigation had been launched into the incident. Authorities would wait for the result before suspending the men. Apart from the attack on the student, the alleged rapist is sought for three other rape incidents. DA councillor and board member of the Sinoville community policing forum, Arnold van Niekerk, visited the student in hospital on Monday and said an example had to be made of the two police officers if it was found that they had not followed police procedure.

Beeld journalists Sonja Carstens and Hanti Otto wrote that meanwhile the 22-year-old Pretoria university student - who was stabbed 23 times before being raped and left for dead last week is an “incredibly strong and courageous woman”, one of her doctors said..“The strength of the Lord is shining through her and her mother,” said Dr Lets Pretorius (who also is on trial in the Boeremag treason-trial in Pretoria) on Monday after visiting the student in ICU where she was in a stable condition. Eight of her knife wounds were potentially fatal. Pretorius helped Dr Stefan Rawlins, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and Dr Pieter Coertze, an orthopaedic surgeon, in the lengthy emergency operation on the student following the attack. The student from Magalieskruin, Pretoria, who was put on antiretroviral treatment following the rape, gave permission to her mother and Pretorius to give details about her injuries. Pretorius said a neurosurgeon had to help remove the point of the knife blade, which broke off in her skull. “Judging from the stab wounds, I suspect her attacker was left-handed,” he said.

S Africa – police arrested over dragging death

Posted on March 1, 2013 |

BBC

Eight South African police officers have been arrested over the death of a Mozambican man who was apparently dragged behind a police vehicle.

An investigation was launched after video footage emerged showing the man hauled through the streets with his hands cuffed to a police van.

Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega thanked people for revealing “callous and unacceptable behaviour”.

President Jacob Zuma called the incident “horrific” and “unacceptable”.

The eight officers were initially suspended pending an investigation. It was later announced that they had been arrested and would appear in court on 4 March.

A small crowd gathered outside Daveyton police and hurled insults at passing police cars

Taxi driver Mido Macia, 27, died of head injuries and internal bleeding after his arrest in Daveyton, east of Johannesburg, an initial post-mortem found.

He was reportedly detained for parking his vehicle in a way that blocked traffic.

The video, apparently recorded by a bystander on a mobile phone on Tuesday, shows a large crowd watching as uniformed policemen tie him to a van, dragging him as they drive away.

Public anger grew after the footage was broadcast on television.

South Africa’s police watchdog – the Independent Police Investigative Directorate – is examining the video as part of its investigation.

Cop sold me police docket, claims suspect

September 30 2013 at 10:49am
By Lungelo Mkamba

Durban -

A Chatsworth police colonel is being investigated by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate after being accused by a suspected drug dealer of selling a police docket to him for R10 000.

The directorate confirmed on Friday that Colonel Bongani Biyela, the head of the detective service at the Chatsworth police station, was facing corruption charges after Strini Naidoo, a suspected whoonga/sugars dealer, was allegedly found in possession of a police docket earlier this month during a drug raid on his house.

Naidoo, 39, has appeared in the Chatsworth Magistrate’s Court, facing charges of theft and defeating the ends of justice.

Police had received a tip-off that drugs were being sold at Naidoo’s house in Klaarwater Road, Shallcross.

The docket, registered to Chatsworth police station, was found during the search.

The docket contained a charge against Naidoo – of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, which was reported earlier this month.

According to a policeman with knowledge of the case, Naidoo was evasive when asked about the docket. He then told the detectives that he paid Biyela R10 000 for the docket.

The police referred the matter to the directorate.

Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini said the investigation was ongoing, and no arrests had been made.

Biyela was contacted for comment on Sunday, but said he was not allowed to talk to the media.

Another policeman said the allegations were a campaign to have Biyela ousted because he was fighting corruption and drug dealers.

“There are people within the police trying to remove him. It’s a plot. He would not take money.

When the time is right, he will speak out,” he said.

Police spokesman Jay Naicker said he could not respond because the matter was with the directorate.

Naicker said Biyela remained on active duty despite calls by drug activists for his suspension.

“They remain mere allegations made by a drug dealer, and we await the outcome of the investigation,” Naicker said.

Police sued after cop kills ZCC priest

August 7 2013 at 10:11am
By ZELDA VENTER

Pretoria - The taxpayer will have to foot the bill for an on-duty policeman who shot dead a priest of the Zion Christian Church after accusing the clergyman of having an affair with his wife.

Inspector Frans Duba took an unmarked police vehicle and drove to the Seshego home of Elia Morudu in Limpopo on December 24, 2001.

He was on standby duty at the time and shot Morudu with his private firearm.

Morudu’s widow, Pauline, and his four children are claiming damages for loss of support – no amount given at this stage – from the police.

They told the Pretoria High Court that the minister of police (in his official capacity) should be held liable for the priest’s death, as Duba was on duty at the time and drove to the house in an official police vehicle.

The court had to determine whether Duba, in killing the priest, acted in his capacity as a police official or not and whether the minister should be held responsible for his actions.

The widow testified that she met Duba for the first time when he came to their home, in a police vehicle, to tell her that her husband was having an affair with his wife.

The woman said she was not aware of such an affair.

But a few days later the policeman again arrived at their house – this time firing shots at her husband, who was still in bed.

The bullets were flying through the bedroom window and she ran to the neighbour’s home, she said. She saw Duba outside. She also recognised the white police vehicle.

When she returned to her house, she found her husband lying in a pool of blood.

One of the children, Portia Khumalo, testified that she heard her mother screaming in the bedroom and saw her father locking himself in the bathroom.

Khumalo then saw Duba climbing through the bathroom window, looking for her father.

The priest ran back to the main bedroom, with the policeman following him, she said.

Khumalo said she heard a number of shots and saw her father lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor.

A captain at the Polokwane Local Criminal Centre – where Duba worked as a fingerprint expert – testified that Duba was on standby duty that day.

After the shooting, Duba returned to the barracks where he lived, bleeding from his arm.

He told a colleague that he had just shot a man.

According to the captain, Duba did not have authorisation when he drove the vehicle to the house to commit the murder. He said the vehicle was to be used only for official police duties.

Acting Judge DS Molefe said it was common cause that Duba, at the time of the incident, was a policeman, that he was on standby duty (in another district) and that he was given a police vehicle to perform his duties.

“Although Duba was not allocated the Seshego district (where the victim lived) to render standby services, I am of the view that this does not remove the connection of the crime and his employment. This is because at the time of the commission of the murder, Duba was on standby duty.

“Although Duba’s murdering of the victim had nothing to do with his official duties, I am of the view that there is a sufficiently close link between his act for his own personal gratification and the business of the police,” the judge said.

He added that Duba had previously also used an official vehicle to confront the priest and commented that it was “disturbing” that the SAPS failed to notice that he used the vehicle for that purpose.

“It is evident that the police failed to exercise reasonable control or supervision over the unauthorised use of state vehicles,” the judge said.

Fired cop probed for more crimes

Amanda Sheleni arrested for attempted housebreaking is being investigated for other crimes she may have been involved in, police say.

Cape Town - A former Steenberg police officer arrested for attempted housebreaking is being investigated for other crimes she may have been involved in, police say.

Amanda Sheleni was arrested after she was found to be the driver of a getaway car used by an alleged gang of smash-and-grab perpetrators last month.

The former policewoman was fired from the police force last year and is being investigated for several other possible criminal cases.

Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said: “She was already dismissed from her job last year in December for a separate criminal case.

“It is the second time that she has been arrested for being involved in criminal activity.”

He said police were investigating how many other cases the 30-year-old could possibly be connected to.

“She will be dealt with according to the full extent of the law.

“We don’t know how many cases she was involved in,” said Van Wyk.

On April 23, Sheleni’s two alleged accomplices were arrested for attempted housebreaking in the city centre at a car dealership.

Police arrested the pair with the help of the City of Cape Town’s closed circuit television system.

The next day, Sheleni, who was driving a Toyota Yaris, was arrested.

According to media reports, the three suspects were caught on camera as they tried to smash their way into a car dealership. One of the suspects picked up what appeared to be a large brick and threw it at the shop window.

Sheleni was allegedly captured on camera driving the getaway car away from the scene.

According to police, the modus operandi used by the three suspects was to approach the premises of a business, smash a window and grab whatever was of value.

The trio were denied bail at the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court last month and are due in court on May 30.

Police captain held over firearm sales

August 21 2013 at 08:55am
By SAPA

Johannesburg - A police captain from Nelspruit was arrested and charged with illegal trafficking in firearms, Beeld reported on Wednesday.

Additional charges of corruption and theft were also laid against Captain Godfrey Lubisi, 57, who was arrested at work.

Police said the arrest followed a year-long investigation, after rumours that weapons were being sold from the Nelspruit police station for as little as R2 000.

Lubisi allegedly sold a .22 rifle, a collector's item dating back to 1925, to a member of the public in January.

Lubisi reportedly took the man to the store where firearms submitted by members of the public for later destruction were kept.

He gave Lubisi over R2 000, as he had apparently agreed to also supply a firearm licence.

The investigation was delayed because nobody wanted to make a statement, then two weeks ago, new information came to light.

It emerged that Lubisi had also illegally sold a Taurus .357 Magnum revolver for R2 000.

On Tuesday, police also found a large number of firearm licences that had to be collected from the police station, allegedly under the seat of Lubisi's car.

Police spokesman Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said police would oppose bail. - Sapa

Man seeks R920K for police cell rape

December 3 2013 at 11:30am
By Sharika Regchand

Durban -

A man who was raped in a police cell six years ago, when he was 17, suffered lasting trauma that affected his school work and mental health, the Pietermaritzburg High Court heard on Monday.

He is now suing the minister of safety and security for R920 000.

The minister has conceded liability, but not the amount to be paid out.

The man was arrested for theft in October 2007, along with two others, and detained in the Pongola police station cells. He was raped by a 43-year-old cell mate.

Clinical psychologist Zanele Khumalo said when she interviewed the man, he had diminished concentration levels, was unable to think clearly and had dropped out of school because he feared that his co-accused would reveal to everyone that he had been raped.

At the time of the rape he was in Grade 9.

“The psychological scars are something that will live with him for the rest of his life,” she said.

Although she recommended 40 sessions of psychological treatment, she said it could be more or less, depending on his progress. Each session cost R700 and that would increase by 6 percent next year.

She said the incident had delayed his earning capacity because he had dropped out of school and, when he enrolled at another, he failed.

It also resulted in his entering the job market late.

Court papers said the rape took place because police failed to take steps to ensure his safety and to ensure that he was not detained with adults.

They also failed to monitor the condition of the detainees.

The case continues on Tuesday.

Police spend R81m on trips

May 17 2012 at 10:32am
By Gaye Davis

INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS

Police officials splurged more than R80 million during the past financial year on trips overseas, but the Department of Police is refusing to give further details.

Information provided by the department, and revealed by Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa on Wednesday, said a total of 919 SAPS officials undertook 218 overseas trips during the 2011/12 financial year.

The total bill was R81 441 798 – which averages out to more than R88 000 for each official.

Daily allowances, which ran to a total of more than R24m, average out to more than R26 000 each.

The cost breakdown was as follows:

* Accommodation R22 959 409.

* Daily allowance R24 371 968.

* Transport R30 670 433.

* Food and beverages R206 558.

* “Incidental costs” R3 233 430.

Total: R81 441 798.

ANC MP Annelize van Wyk, a member of Parliament’s police oversight committee, wanted to know the names of each official who travelled, as well as the purpose and the outcome of every trip.

But in his written reply to her questions, Mthethwa does not provide the information.

It appears that the department, which his spokesman said had supplied the information, was coy about giving details.

The reply suggests that doing so might hamper ongoing criminal investigations.

Instead, Mthethwa’s reply makes vague reference to the trips as having included “attending Interpol-related matters”, regional meetings of police chiefs and subcommittees within the Southern African Development Community (SADC), conferences and training for peacekeeping and transnational crime, as well as “investigative matters”. Study tours, SADC election observer missions, UN peacekeeping meetings and EU security consultations were also listed.

Other trips were “of an operational nature where follow-ups are carried out within the context of organised crime and other criminal matters”.

“Given the fact that trips are inclusive of matters relating to investigations, and some of the investigations are still continuing, giving names of members and the outcome of each trip might have a negative impact towards resolving crimes that are being investigated.”

Mthethwa’s reply said that the outcome, or impact, of all the foreign travel “cannot be realised immediately”.

Mthethwa’s spokesman, Zweli Mnisi, said that this was an issue the minister might take a much closer look at in the near future.

From Page 1

“While we understand that our police officials will from time to time travel overseas, mainly to learn, interact and share expertise with their counterparts from other police departments worldwide, we equally believe that consideration of cost implications must be taken into account.

“We must, as a department, ensure that our expenditures are not exorbitant and that we are in line with government’s cost-saving principles of hair-cutting as announced by the finance minister.”

Van Wyk said she would be asking further questions about the spending and those who benefited from it.

Sapa reports that MPs held heated final deliberations on draft legislation to restructure the Hawks in line with a Constitutional Court judgment.

Opposition parties warned that the proposals would fail to satisfy the court. MPs were expected to vote on the bill last night. The original version tabled has been changed to give the members of the elite corruption-fighting unit greater security of tenure, and to limit the influence of the national police commissioner over it.

In the version set to go to the National Assembly the head will be appointed for between seven and 10 years. Although the head can still be removed by a vote in the National Assembly, Parliament’s portfolio committee on police has agreed this can be done only after an investigation headed by a sitting or retired judge.

These changes came about after experts told public hearings that the initial draft failed to satisfy the requirements of the Constitutional Court. - Political Bureau

Johannesburg - A Johannesburg metro police officer was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raping a woman in Protea Glen, Soweto, a spokesman said.

The 37-year-old officer was accused of raping the 23-year-old woman at his home in Protea Glen on Wednesday, said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.

She escaped and went to the police.

Minnaar said the arrest showed that the Johannesburg metro police would not hesitate to do their duty.

“Officers will have no mercy when it comes to the safety of the public, even if it means arresting one of their own,” he said.

The man would appear soon in the Protea Magistrate's Court.

Daveyton police station cells 'hell': resident

Sapa | 14 March, 2013 12:05

"If you have never been inside those (Daveyton) police station cells, you haven't seen anything," resident Martin Mokoena told him during a visit to the area.

The Daveyton police station cells are hell, a local resident told Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa on Thursday.

"If you have never been inside those (Daveyton) police station cells, you haven't seen anything," resident Martin Mokoena told him during a visit to the area.

Mthethwa and Gauteng police commissioner Mzwandile Petros were meeting with Daveyton residents following the death of taxi driver Mido Macia in police custody on February 26. Earlier that day he was dragged behind a police van.

Mthethwa listened and noted residents' complaints regarding the conduct of police in the area.

Mokoena, 50, said police "brutally" assaulted him in 2011 when he went to report his son, who broke his house's windows and doors. The son got angry after he reprimanded him for arriving home late one night.

"Instead they told me to go back. When I refused, they assaulted me and threw me into a cell."

Mokoena said he could not see properly and had difficulty hearing as a result of the assault. He went to see a doctor, and later went to open a case against the police.

"They told me I have to speak to the station commissioner if I have a complaint against the police, but an officer opened a docket and registered the complaint."

Mokoena said he had been following up on progress with the case, but nothing had been happening.

The nine policemen accused of killing Macia were denied bail by the Benoni Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

Magistrate Sam Makamu said he felt it was not in the interests of justice to grant them bail. The matter would resume on April 12.

In delivering his ruling, Makamu said Daveyton residents could try to seek revenge on the accused. He expressed concern at the prospect of sending the men back to their homes in such an "unfavourable" climate.
