Iran will rise! ๐ฎ๐ท
๐จ I was pulled over just now by these traffice officers on the N1 on my from my farm to Bloemfontein.๐จ
The male officer informed me that my drivers license expired a week ago and that he is going to take my car keys to prevent me from driving any further.
I told him he must write me a ticket because I have 3 kids in the car and cannot be without my car, and that I am going to call my husband to come assit me, because he is not being reasonable.
He then tried to take my car's keys and my telephone and I closed my window so fast because he was getting aggressive. I told him that he cannot do what he is doing, and he said he can do anything he wants to, because he is an officer of the law and not me.
He started writing the ticket and then went to his car to call a female officer. On her arrival I opened my window again to talk to her and just as the conversation went a bit south, she put her arm through the open window and slapped me through my face twice.
I struggled to close my window with her arm halfway through it to get another slap at me, and was so shocked! She called me a fucking white person and said that they are not scared of me and she will hit me when and if I get out of my car.
I sat there while they shouted at me over and over that they are not scared of me and they will show me that I am not above the law. It looked like he was taking pictures of me and my car?? To do what with? To harass me on the roads?? I shouted at them that I will lay charges of assault against her, and she said I can go ahead.
My husband arrived and this is a video of their attitudes. We were advised by a police officer of Glen that we must go to the station - we will be helped there with the charges and with my statement.
At the police station the 1 officer and the captain started yelling at us to keep quiet, because we must not tell them how to do their jobs and they want to listen to the officers.
After about 20 minutes we had to leave, because the police was not interested in taking the traffic officers names or to have my statement, because they "have to take the traffic officers' statements first to hear what they have to say and then they will take time to listen to us".
I told the police captain that I was just slapped twice through my face by an officer in front of a 12 year old, 11 year old and a 10 year old who are now so scared of a traffic officer and that I want to lay a charge. And she just said she does not need to take any statements from me and I must stop telling her what she must do.
Even Botha realized that there is absolutely NOTHING to be done and we better leave before we get arrested for trying to speak!!!!! If you open your mouth, you get shouted at in Sotho by police officials!!!!
I cannot even lay a charge at a police station, because they say they don't have to hear anything I have to say and that the traffic officer says she will never do something like that!!!!!Now here I am.
What the hell!!! Go back tomorrow to just get another useless SAPS officer? And get pulled over by the same people obviously now going to target me, as this is the road I have to drive to the city?
PLEASE SHARE that their faces and this absurdness can spread as far and wide โ๏ธ
Tax Justice South Africa (TJSA) has called for an urgent investigation into alleged links between senior law enforcement officials and the illicit cigarette trade following revelations contained in court papers before the Madlanga Commission.
The documents reportedly include WhatsApp exchanges suggesting a close relationship between Major-General Feroz Khan and Carnilinx Tobacco COO Mohamed Sayed.
TJSA said the allegations are deeply concerning and, if proven, indicate possible influence and protection for individuals linked to the illicit tobacco industry.
The organisation says the revelations highlight how entrenched and politically connected the illicit tobacco trade has become. Carnilinx is a member of FITA, which is opposing SARSโ plans to install CCTV systems in cigarette factories to improve oversight and curb tax evasion.
TJSA has called for a judicial inquiry into the illicit tobacco trade, suspension of implicated officials, lifestyle audits, stronger protections for whistleblowers and journalists, and the immediate implementation of SARS monitoring measures.
TJSA said the allegations should serve as a turning point in dismantling criminal networks linked to the illicit tobacco trade and restoring public trust in law enforcement institutions.
