Two men were arrested after they allegedly attacked police officers at a pub in Brandfort, Free State, at the weekend.

The duo appeared in court on Monday. They were granted bail of R500 each. The matter was postponed to February 5.

Koffies Pub, where the incident happened, was fined R1,500 after Van Vuuren was found in possession of the knife.Makhele has slammed the video of the incident doing the rounds on social media. “We view any attack on a police official, especially while executing his or her duties, in a very serious light. If people resort to taking videos of any incidences of similar nature, they must take it from where it started and not only the part they favour to be portrayed in public, as sometimes the truth of what really transpired becomes distorted.”

Two KwaZulu-Natal correctional services officials shot dead in ‘domestic dispute’Minister of Justice and Correctional Services Ronald Lamola has conveyed condolences to the families and loved ones of the two officials. GUNFRIENDLY_SA I'm guessing both or at least one of the deceased is a man. Given that there's no gender specification of the deceased here?
