Police watchdog IPID is investigating allegations that two officers killed a man by dragging him alongside a police van in Limpopo.

Dlamini says they've received a preliminary report from police - but refused to divulge details.
"On the face, it looks like he was dragged, but we have to investigate the circumstances. We will interview witnesses and make an informed comment in due time," he said.
The Sowetan newspaper reported that a 25-year-old man died from the injuries sustained when he was dragged by two officers in a speeding police van, on New Year's Day.
In August 2015, eight police officers were sentenced to 15-years for murder - after Mozambican taxi driver Mido Macia was dragged behind a police van in Daveyton, east of Joburg, in 2013.
Video footage of that incident sparked outrage, and grabbed international attention at the time.
