Mpangane told Sowetan on Tuesday afternoon his car was shot at by heavily armed police in Hazyview.

"While driving to Mbombela, I saw police cars behind me. I was on a speaker phone call. One drove past me and towards a stop we all halted, with police cars on my right, back and front. Without any warning I heard two gunshots which went straight to the driver's seat door handle.

Mpangane said while his car was being searched he started taking pictures and was stopped by the police. "I opened a case after that. What frustrates me is that they were rude, that's why I ordered my lawyer to sue."
