Media Statement from Western Cape
Media Centre 09 May 2014 Police brutality and crimes perpetrated by or members are not taken lightly because we are serious to protect our respective communities with a professional police service. For this reason a 43 year old Warrant Officer was dismissed yesterday during an internal hearing for assaulting a Nigerian man on 2014-03-06 in Cape Town CBD. The dismissed member's accomplice, also a Warrant Officer took discharge from the Service before disciplinary steps could be instituted against him. The criminal aspect of the case against them is yet to be finalized. We encourage members of the community to report violence perpetrated against them by members of SAPS so that we can take appropriate action immediately. -End- Media Enquiries: Lieutenant
