It is alleged that the man was beaten by a
group of angry residents in Blikkiesdorp in Delft
Lieutentant Colonel Andre Traut said it has
been reported in local media that police officers refused to assist a man being
assaulted because he was suspected of having committed a crime, and that a
police officer was eating a banana during the victim’s ordeal.
Traut said our investigation into the matter
has revealed that none of the uniformed officers are SAPS members and that our
members were not at all present during the incident.
“Vigilantism is strongly condemned by SAPS, and we have
launched an investigation into the circumstances of the matter Traut added.
