Daily Sun (November 12 2013) IT WAS just a lazy night of pool, phuza and happy talk in the tavern . . . until the cops arrived!
Then the peaceful scene turned into a night of terror and abuse as the cops stormed in.
THEY KICKED AND BEAT PEOPLE, HUMILIATING AND ABUSING THEM, ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LAW.
In CCTV footage viewed by Daily Sun, the patrons are suddenly seen running into the tavern, scattering in different directions as they fled into the tavern in Matsulu, outside Mbombela in Mpumalanga.
Soon the reason for their terror was obvious: armed cops came strutting into the tavern, marching around the room like stars and clearly enjoying the spotlight. The male patrons were lined up against the wall and searched while the women were chased out.
It is clear from the footage nothing was found on the people - but this was not the end of the abuse for the people.
