"It is disheartening that the people we are supposed to depend on, have assumed the role of rogue police officials," magistrate Hlengiwe Mkhabisi said.
Shadrack Molekatlane Kojana, Johannes Matome Mampuru, Pomso Joseph Mofokeng, Harmans Madumetja Ramokhonami, Phineas Molefo Boshielo, Churchill Mpakameseni Mkhize, Lesibana Aggrie Rambau, and Moses Fhatuwani Tshidada are facing several charges. Mkhabisi said there was no evidence that they would try to evade trial because their family ties were in Gauteng.“I have not doubt if the state conducts a thorough investigation a conviction might ensure at the end. However, with the evidence that has been presented before me, it would be a traverty of justice if I were to refuse the appplicants bail.”Mkhabisi said the VIP Protection officers who assaulted civilians on the N1 highway in Johannesburg abused their power.
