The Directorate's spokesperson, Ndileka Cola said: She allegedly requested her 21-year-old daughter to record the assault on video, that’s when the police officer who was just standing outside opened the burglar gate and slapped her several times on her face. They did not manage to take the video.
"Another 25-year-old person was allegedly assaulted by the same police officers when he questioned them about what they were doing within the same yard."
