One of the four police officers accused of shooting and killing Mthokozisi Ntumba allegedly got out of the police nyala when it stopped next to people standing on the pavement along a street in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and randomly started shooting them.

Officers Tshepiso Kekana, 27, Cidraas Motseothatha, 43, Madimetja Legodi, 37, and Mohammed, face charges of murder and three counts of attempted murder and have pleaded not guilty.

“It was around 11.30am and I heard on the police radio that a person was shot during a protest action. When I arrived I went to Stiemens Street where I met with some of my provincial heads. I was informed by them that a person was killed on De Beer Street,” said Beeslaar. Beeslaar said he did not know what had happened when he arrived at the scene. “I thought security from a university or college was involved in the shooting. I heard from my colleagues that white cartridges were found at the scene. I thought maybe police may be involved because we also use firearms that discharge white cartridges,” he said.
