Our new Goverment changed the police force to the polices service.
And this is what happened:
Assault on ex-Dispatch picturemen probe
07 February 2011
Sapa
Two attacks on newspaper and former Daily Dispatch photographers by police officers in Bloemfontein and Pretoria are to be investigated by the Independent Complaints Directorate, the Pretoria News reported on Monday.
Pretoria News chief photographer Masi Losi was physically assaulted on Friday while photographing two Pretoria Central police station officers rescuing a suspected thief from a mob threatening to lynch him outside the newspaper's offices in Vermeulen Street.
Volksblad photographer Theo Jephta, was attacked and then driven off by two police officers in Bloemfontein while photographing a group of pupils fighting in the city.
The policemen had, at the time, allegedly been sitting in their vehicle watching the fight. Jephta was released only after senior police officers in the Free State were contacted.
