Durban Metro head 'should face disciplinary action for official misconduct'
The South African Municipal Workers' Union in KwaZulu-Natal feels Durban Metro Police Chief Eugene Nzama should face disciplinary action following an altercation at a shop in Springfield.
Nzama was reportedly stopped by one of the guards at the shop's door asking him for a slip showing proof of payment.
He allegedly refused and called in Metro officers to arrest the two guards.
Metro Police then reportedly returned to the shop a few days later to arrest a new guard over security permit issues.
CCTV images of the incident have also been released.
Samwu's Jaycee Ncanana says Nzama should face consequences of his actions.
''He has to be prosecuted internally due to the fact that the guy is the face of eThekwini under Metro Police. Therefore, whatever he does has an impact on eThekwini Metro. Actually, Samwu is on record saying that Mr Nzama has got a tendency of abusing his power,'' he said.
