A video, which has been shared widely, shows the officers removing Bulelani Qholani from his home in the Empolweni while he was washing himself.
The City of Cape Town has been widely condemned for the conduct of four law enforcement officers who assaulted Qholani in full view of his neighbours. More than a day after the incident, the 28-year-old said the treatment he received made him feel less than human.The whole thing was caught on cell phone video and he can't believe how many people have seen it.
Not only does he feel humiliated, but he's also concerned about the effect the experience will have on his young children and partner.
