DA's Steenhuisen lambasts police 'intimidation'
22 May 2017
Cape Town - Democratic Alliance chief whip John Steenhuisen views an unannounced visit by four Gauteng police officers to his office at Parliament as intimidation.
On May 12, the officers arrived at Parliament to obtain a warning statement from Steenhuisen, after State Security Minister David Mahlobo laid a charge of crimen injuria against him for a tweet in which he alleges Mahlobo might have had something to do with the break-in at the office of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
On Monday, Steenhuisen told News24 that he was in a meeting on Parliament's finances when the policemen appeared at his office on the parliamentary precinct.
After the meeting, he went to meet them with DA MP Glynnis Breytenbach at his side. Breytenbach is a former prosecutor for the National Prosecuting Authority.
