Complaints Against the South African Police 

When police overstep their powers

The police have no powers other than those granted by acts of parliament, the most important being the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977, and the South African Police Service Act, 1995. Any police officer acting outside these powers is liable to disciplinary proceedings, criminal prosecution or to a civil action for damages.

Misconduct

If you feel that a police officer has acted in an improper or illegal manner you may complain at the nearest police station. The police must investigate your complaint, but if you are unhappy about the way the matter is being handled, ask to speak to the station commander. If you are still dissatisfied, complain in writing to the district Commissioner of Police for the area. If all approaches fail, contact a newspaper or a member of parliament (MP), or a political party constituency office.

Illegal search and entry

A police officer who unlawfully enters private property is regarded in law as a trespasser. Such an officer may be charged with trespass, or with malicious damage to property if he or she breaks in, or with assaultif a person on the property is forcibly searched. The general rule is that a search warrant must be produced.

The police may, however, enter and search, and seize goods without a warrant if the person in charge of the premises consents, or if they have reasonable grounds for believing that they could have obtained a warrant, but that the delay in doing so would defeat the object of the search. (See police, powers of the.)

A police officer who exceeds the limits of a warrant - for example, by searching a person when the warrant does not authorise it or by acting without a warrant unjustifiably - may be sentenced to a fine or imprisonment and may also be liable to a civil action for damages.

Quick Tip - What to do if you think a warrant has been improperly attained

If you have reasonable grounds for believing that a warrant has been improperly obtained or that it was issued in bad faith, you may contest its validity by laying a charge against the police officer involved.

Unlawful arrest

A police officer who exceeds the limits of authority to arrest is liable to conviction for assault or any other crime committed while making the arrest. Even the mistaken belief that an arrest was authorised, would not normally be excused.

A police officer who makes an arrest in terms of a warrant, must produce the warrant - you cannot be arrested until you know what you are being arrested for.

Note, however, that resisting arrest, or interference or obstruction of a police officer must be justifiable (for example, the police were not authorised to act or you were acting in self-defence). Resistance which is not justifiable could result in a charge of obstructing the police in the execution of their duties.

A charge of unlawful arrest or assault or both may be brought against a police officer who makes an arrest while not empowered to do so or makes an improper arrest. The charge can be laid at any police station and the police must make an official record of the charge and investigate the matter as they would with any other alleged crime.

If you are arrested unlawfully and held by the police, you may apply to court for your release. It is best to do this through an attorney. If you do not have an attorney, phone around until you find one who is prepared to act for you.

Case History - The rumpus at the railway station

While Karvie was waiting for his train, a military policeman approached him and demanded to see his ticket. The policeman had no authority to do this. When Karvie refused, the military policeman called a sergeant, who forcibly dragged Karvie off to the charge office. In trying to escape, Karvie struck a policeman.

  • The magistrate hearing the matter said: 'Every man has the right to offer reasonable resistance to an unlawful aggression upon his person, and if he is unlawfully arrested he is entitled to do anything reasonable to free himself ... in striking the constable in order to effect his escape from the unlawful arrest, the appellant did not act unreasonably.'

(Rex v Karvie, 1945)

Complaints in court

If you wish to complain about the way you were treated when you were arrested or while you were in custody, you should do so when you are brought before a court. If you were denied access to a lawyer, bring it to the attention of the court.

Civil claims against the police

A police officer who breaks down a door and enters your house unlawfully is guilty of malicious injury to property and of trespass; in this instance, unlawful arrest may also lead to a charge of assault.

In addition to criminal charges, you may institute a civil action against the police for damagescaused by their unlawful conduct, involving trespass, assault, wrongful imprisonment, malicious damage to property or malicious prosecution.

In law, police officers are regarded just as any other employees are. They are employed by the state, which, like any employer, is liable for any civil claim that may arise from unlawful action by its employees in the course of their employment.

If you have been wrongfully arrested or assaulted by the police and you wish to sue for compensation, there is one essential fact to remember: if you do not act swiftly, you may find that your action has prescribed ('gone stale') and you can no longer proceed with it.

Generally, if you wish to sue a private citizen for assault, you must begin the action within three years, or your action will prescribe. When assault, or any other wrongful action, concerns the police, however, the South African Police Service Act, 1995 states that your action will prescribe after 12 months. Before you sue the police, you must give the national Commissioner of Police one month's written notice of intention to do so.

Failure to give this notice, which must include details of the incident which has led to the proposed action, will jeopardise your case.

Quick Tip - What to do if you're arrested

Before resisting arrest or laying a charge, you must clearly establish your rights.

If you are apprehended by the police, ask them whether you are being arrested, under what authority and for what offence. Because it is often impossible to know at the time whether an arrest is legal or not, it is advisable to comply and to complain later if it should turn out to be unlawful.

Warning - Resisting arrest

Police officers in South Africa carry firearms. Although you may have the right, technically, to resist unlawful arrest, in practice and in nearly every instance you would be ill-advised to do so.

A wrongful arrest could be the result of a misunderstanding, and the police officer could react to resistance harshly, albeit in good faith. The only sensible procedure would be to submit to arrest and complain afterwards, usually when you take legal advice, lay a charge or appear in court.

IPID’s mandate

The mandate of the IPID is to conduct independent and impartial investigations of specified criminality committed by members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) Municipal Police Services (MPS).

What the New legislation (IPID Act) entails?

This mandate has been expanded and focused by the new Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) legislation which was signed into law by President Zuma on 12 May 2011. IPID Act is operational from 01 April 2012. This means that the IPID will investigate only the matters specified in the IPID Act.

TYPES OF MATTERS THAT MUST BE INVESTIGATED

  • The IPID must investigate the following (specified) matters:

  • any deaths in police custody;

  • deaths as a result of police actions;

  • any complaint relating to the discharge of an official firearm by any police officer;

  • rape by a police officer, whether the police officer is on or off duty;

  • rape of any person while that person is in police custody;

  • any complaint of torture or assault against a police officer in the execution of his or her duties;

  • may investigate corruption matters within the police initiated by the Executive Director on his or her own, or after the receipt of a complaint from a member of the public, or referred to the Directorate by the Minister, an MEC or the Secretary of Police, as the case may be; and

  • any other matter referred to it as a result of a decision by the Executive Director, or if so requested by the Minister, an MEC or the Secretary of Police as the case may be.

THE POLICE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPORT

The Station Commissioner, or any member of the SAPS or MPS must:

  • immediately after becoming aware, notify the Directorate of any matters that must be investigated by the Directorate; and

  • within 24 hours thereafter, submit a written report to the Directorate in the prescribed form and manner of any such matter.

THE POLICE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ACT OR RESPOND TO RECOMMENDATIONS

  • An obligation to act on or respond to the IPID’s disciplinary recommendations is put on the National Commissioner in that he must:

  • within 30 days of receipt thereof, initiate disciplinary proceedings in terms of the recommendations made by the Directorate and inform the Minister in writing, and provide a copy thereof to the Executive Director and the Secretary of Police;

  • quarterly submit a written report to the Minister on the progress regarding disciplinary matters made in terms of paragraph (a) and provide a copy thereof to the Executive Director and the Secretary of Police; and

  • immediately on finalisation of any disciplinary matter referred to it by the Directorate, to inform the Minister in writing of the outcome thereof and provide a copy thereof to the Executive Director and the Secretary of Police.

THE POLICE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO COOPERATE WITH THE IPID

  • The members of the SAPS or MPS must provide their full cooperation to the Directorate, including but not limited to -

  • the arrangement of an identification parade within 48 hours of the request made by the Directorate;

  • the availability of members for the taking of an affidavit or an affirmed declaration or to give evidence or produce any document in that member’s possession or under his or her control which has a bearing on the matter being investigated; and

  • any other information or documentation required for investigation purposes.

WHAT SORT OF MATTERS WILL THE IPID NO LONGER DEAL WITH?

  • Cases of non-compliance with the Domestic Violence Act by SAPS members

The IPID will no longer be dealing with matters of non-compliance with the DVA by SAPS members. Complaints of non-compliance with this act will be handled by the Secretariat of Police.

  • Service delivery complaints against SAPS and MPS members

IPID will not investigate service delivery complaints against SAPS or MPS members in instances such as failure to investigate, failure to assist, failure to give feedback, rudeness and police misconduct. These matters are now dealt with by the police inspectorate in the offices of SAPS Provincial Commissioners.

WHAT THE IPID CANNOT DEAL WITH

The IPID cannot deal with the following:

  • Complaints of incidents which occurred before the establishment of the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) in April 1997 and those which took place more than a year before they were reported to the IPID, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

  • Complaints against Correctional Services staff, court officials, and members of the South African National Defence Force.

  • Matters that have been dealt with or are currently being dealt with by the courts

  • Matters that are not criminal in nature, e.g divorce, recovery of money or unlawful arrest etc

WHO MAY LODGE A COMPLAINT?

  • Any person, either as a victim, witness or representative.

  • Non-governmental and community-based organizations.

HOW CAN I LODGE A COMPLAINT?

A complaint may be lodged in person, by telephone, per letter or e-mail to any IPID office. The complainant must fill in a Complaint Reporting Form (Form 2), which can be obtained from any IPID office. Download "Complaint Reporting Form (Form 2)" here.
 

 

 

 

"South Africa arrests 600 police officers for corruption"-Wow!

03 May 2012, 21:02

 

What a headline! And this came from just one province,namely Gauteng. How bad is corruption in South Africa? Because obviously where there is corruption in the police force then it surely goes much higher than that.

This report was written by Professor Michael Savage,a sociologist at the University of York in England, just over six months ago says this:

"Theft,fraud and violence,South African [politicians] do it all. A culture of impunity has made the South African parliament one of the most scandal-ridden governments in the world whereby MP's are arrested for drunken driving,shoplifting,fraud and varied corruption offences.

Of the 535 MPs, 29 have been found guilty of domestic violence, 7 have been arrested for fraud, 19 have been accused of bouncing fraudulent cheques, 117 have been involved in at least two businesses that have gone bankrupt, 71 cannot obtain a credit card because of their bad credit ratings, 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges, 8 have been arrested for shoplifting, and 84 have been arrested for drunken driving.

Tony Yengeni,the former chief whip of the ANC,who was convicted for fraud in 2003 while chairing the country's defence committee said this of their ANC elite of which he is a part:"What does the high court got to do with my life? I don't have to ask permission from them to do certain things".

Asked about his numerous luxury cars which includes a MASERATI and two BMW's he replied: "Many other people have cars including white people who still have all the wealth of this country".

The Washington Post newspaper wrote this: South Africa loses billions of dollars due to negligence and corruption by the ANC Government.

"A South African government minister reportedly spends the equivalent of nearly $70,000(US) of taxpayer money on a trip to Switzerland to visit his girlfriend in jail who is facing drug charges,then tells his president that he was on official business. He claims to have been on sick leave since February. Another minister and the police chief were implicated in an unlawful deal to lease police buildings at inflated prices,which then cost taxpayers more than $250 million(US).

These incidents pale beside the sprawling,routine corruption and negligence in South African governance exposed by the anti-corruption agency known as the Special Investigating Unit or SIU. Around 20% of all government procurements or more than $3.8 billion,goes missing each year-most of which gets stolen and the rest untraceable because of negligence.

There more than 900 cases of questionable contracts and conflicts of interest,valued at more than $635 million. The worst theft,takes place at the local government level,where there wasn't that much oversight".

2.From the New York Times newspaper tells us this: South Africa Slips From the Moral High Ground says ALAN COWELL.

"South Africa has never liked to see itself in any way as run-of-the-mill country,instead preferred to cast itself as aloof from the corruption,strife and misrule so often associated with the continent to its north. Hence Thabo Mbeki's calling the country's first democratic election in 1994 as "an African Renaissance".

However South Africa have become a different country under its newest coterie of the most powerful that surrounds President Jacob Zuma and has since lost its claim to the moral high ground. It was Archbishop Desmond M.Tutu that said:"Mr.Zuma,you and your government don’t represent me...You represent your own interests." Corruption and patronage have replaced principle and promised transparency in South Africa.

Author Njabulo S. Ndebele wrote that "South Africa have become corrupted by the attractions of instant wealth, reflecting a potentially catastrophic collapse in the once cohesive understanding of the post-apartheid project as embodied in our constitution. The ANC functions as a state within the state,and it thinks it is the state."

Dr.R.Simangaliso Kumalo,the head of the School of Religion and Theology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal,wrote:"Pretoria seemed to side with dictators like President Robert G.Mugabe in Zimbabwe blending its debts to those who supported it in the liberation struggle with a hard-nosed pragmatism.

Political analyst Eusebius McKaiser said in a lecture in August,2011:"It is clear to me that South Africa does not have a moral foreign policy. There is little indication that our foreign policy is consistently and genuinely informed by a thorough commitment to project our domestic constitutional principles onto the international arena.”

Indeed, those principles —or the threats to them — lie at the centre of the debate. Two years after their first free election in 1994,South Africa created a new constitution guaranteeing rights that much of Africa had shunned,ignored or undermined and seeming to lock the land onto the moral coordinates of its struggle for democracy. But the ground has shifted.

Max du Preez,a journalist and author wrote:"Nothing anybody says or does can be taken at face value any longer in South Africa, because we suspect this can only be explained if one understands what the doer or speaker wants to achieve in terms of his or her factional interest.”

Girl, 3, locked in police cell

2013-02-03 09:12

 

 

Johannesburg – Police say they are investigating an incident in which a little girl was locked up in a police cell with her father.

Rapport reported how Hazyview resident Charlie Niemann, 29, was arrested on 6 January for drunk driving and thrown in an icy cold police cell with Cherise, 3, who was barefoot and only wearing pyjamas.

Niemann said he had drunk two beers earlier in the evening but denied being drunk when he drove down to the cafe to buy milk for his daughter and cigarettes for himself.

Police officers took the toddler to the police station and refused to take her home or let the child’s dad make a phone call.

“It was terrible. My child was hysterical. The officials were inhuman. They even refused to give her water. When we got there and Cherise was crying, one threatened to throw her in a police cell if I couldn’t get her to calm down.”

His wife, Stephanie, 30, who was pregnant with the couple’s second child, said she expected the worst when the two didn’t come back from the café.

"We have taken Cherise to a counsellor and she is getting better. But she is scared of police officers. Whenever she sees a police car, she looks for her dad and starts crying hysterically.”


Niemann has laid a charge against the police with the independent complaints directorate.


A police spokesperson said it was illegal to lock up a child in a police cell and said it would be investigated.

 

 

Police station turned gun-shop

August 20 2009 at 06:13am


Star

 Aubrey Tshamana, a clerk at Alexandra police station, appears in court.

 

A clerk working inside the Alexandra police station has been arrested for selling high-calibre R-5 rifles and handguns from police safes to the criminal underworld.

Detectives from the Joburg Organised Crime Unit are investigating whether the weapons sold were used by syndicates in the recent spate of violent robberies at shopping malls.

The administrative clerk from the station's logistics unit may have sold as many as six R-5 rifles and 16 handguns that should have been used by officers at his station and the Sandton police station. Police sources close to the investigation say the guns have not been recovered and may have been sold for as little as R3 500 for a rifle and R1 000 for a handgun.

A police weapons expert said this was roughly one-third of their worth.

It's suspected the sales could have been going on since March.

"We're fighting these guys on the streets and our own is arming them," one angry police officer from an affected station said on Thursday.

A lot of questions about how the weapons were allowed to vanish from the safes, and why it took several months before the crime was spotted, now need answering.

Aubrey Tshamana was arrested on Monday after it was discovered that the weapons were missing.

The 26-year-old appeared in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court (previously Wynberg Magistrate's Court), where State prosecutor Adele Barnard charged him with theft and possession of unlicensed firearms.

His case was postponed to the week after next and he will be kept at high-risk holding cells.

During questioning, he allegedly gave police several leads that led to two further arrests.

The pair, who are civilians, were likely to appear in court today. They are suspected of either buying the weapons or helping to sell them.

When asked why police had brought the docket to court after 11am, an unidentified police officer from the Organised Crime Unit - who escorted Tshamana - said the delay was because he was ordered to report first at the police's provincial head office.

"It's a massive thing," he told the court.

Magistrate Renier Boshoff then said: "He can probably tell you who he sold the guns to. He can probably solve a few cases if you investigate properly."

A police source at the Alexandra police station said Tshamana worked in the logistics department, which sources and distributes firearms, vehicles and other equipment. He allegedly managed to order weapons from the Sandton police station for the purpose of selling them.

"He had access," the source said. "And that's why he managed to get away with it."

Tshamana is a civilian working at the police station. He has allegedly been there for more than five years.

Detectives are trying to trace the recipients of the weapons in an attempt to get them back. If their efforts to link the weapons to armed robberies at malls pay off, they could be in a position to charge Tshamana with much more serious crimes.

Johannesburg - A Germiston man has laid charges with police after he was allegedly assaulted by two police officers in front of his hysterical toddlers.

Bruce Swart told
Beeld how he had been driving back from dinner with friends with his fiancée Natashia van Zyl and their sons Jayden, 4, and Justin, 2, when he was pulled over by two members of the dog unit.

“They pulled me from my vehicle and threw me against the pavement. One of the men’s hands was around my neck. It felt like I was being strangled,” said Swart.

He said: “Both the men were very aggressive and arrogant. They asked to see my driver’s licence…I shook a lot and asked if I could just drive back to my friends’ house to look for my wallet.”

The officers agreed but at the gate of the security complex the men got out of the car and started assaulting him.

His oldest son, Jayden, started screaming hysterically.

“I tried to calm him down but he was just really scared. It probably looked to him like they were killing his dad,” said Swart’s fiancée.

She said both of their sons were traumatised by the incident.

Swart was arrested on charges of reckless driving and possession of a stolen vehicle, even when Swart tried to convince them that his car’s registration documents were in the cubby hole.

Swart said R400 was taken from his wallet.

CCTV footage from the security complex showed how the police officers searched the car and looked at Swart’s driver’s licence as well as car registration papers.

All charges against Swart were dropped the following day.

A police spokesperson said the incident was being investigated.

 

 
 

Cop jailed for killing girlfriend

Johannesburg - A 32-year-old police constable has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for killing his girlfriend in front of her children, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) said on Monday.

Spokesperson Moses Dlamini said Constable Cingakufani Mbiza was also declared unfit to own or possess a firearm.

Mbiza shot dead his girlfriend, Cinna Ncada, 23, in the head on May 28 last year. She was shot dead in front of her young children, at the time aged 3 and 5 years respectively.

The shooting happened in the street at the corner of Vasco da Gama and 12th Avenue in Marlboro. The policeman then fled the scene.

The Ipid took over the case and Mbiza was arrested while at work at the Johannesburg Central police station.

The post mortem found the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head.

His 5-year-old son testified against him with the assistance of a social worker on Wednesday last week, Dlamini said.

"Other witnesses also testified against the accused. The accused was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.

Mbiza was sentenced on Thursday last week.
