A trip to a Pietermaritzburg mall ended in a traumatic experience for a Mountain Rise police officer and his family.
They were returning from a local mall when they were pulled over at a roadblock in Imbali Unit 2 after the Slangspruit Bridge on Friday evening.
Sergeant ST Madlala could only confirm that he was “roughed up” by police at a roadblock, but declined to comment on the matter, referring The Witness to the provincial police media desk as he had opened a case with them.
