This is the chilling message sent to the man who circulated a video of deputy president Paul Mashatile’s protectors attacking motorists on the highway earlier this month.
They face charges of pointing a firearm, malicious damage to property, reckless and negligent driving, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and attempting to defeat the administration of justice. Ipid said accused number 5 , after the consultation with the rest of his co-accused, failed to report that there was an assault on the complainants.
“No one else other than the eight accused had a motive to send this message to this witness or an interest in the outcome of any investigation into their conduct,” Ndlovu said.
