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.

"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.

Cops assaulted me in front of kids - dad
2013-01-25 09:27
Bruce Swart and his fiancée Natashia van Zyl. (Lucky Maibi,
Beeld)
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.
