Centurion assault case withdrawn
The case against a woman who was allegedly assaulted at the Centurion licensing centre has been dismissed by the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court.
Tertius Kruger, who, on behalf of AfriForum, represented the woman who was allegedly assaulted by staff and management at the centre, said since the case against the woman has been dismissed, the defence would be considering their options, Rekord Centurion reported.
“We are looking at the merits of the case and will consider legal action. The police are also still investigating the assault claims,” said Kruger.
Tshwane Metro police department Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said the TMPD was still investigating the claims.
“We are still busy with the investigation and want to finalise it as soon as possible,” added Mahamba.
The investigation followed claims that staff members verbally and physically assaulted clients at the licensing centre on two different occasions.
In a separate incident, the case against a woman who allegedly assaulted police who tried to stop her from filming them was withdrawn in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court last week.
Thandiswa Losi, the daughter of South Africa’s ambassador to Tunisia Nonceba Nancy Losi-Tutu, was taken into custody with a group of friends on Esselen Street, Sunnyside, for assault after trying to take photos on her cellphone of police allegedly assaulting another woman.
