I really wish I didn’t have to write these stories any longer but alas, this train just keeps on rolling.

The latest controversy comes out of Jozi, where a motorist was arrested for allegedly assaulting a Johannesburg Metro Police Department officer.

It is also alleged that the motorist called the officer the K-word, although you can see the man denying that in the video below.

News24 reports:

The JMPD has confirmed the incident, which occurred at the corner of Dale and Modderfontein roads in Midrand on Tuesday morning…

[Cellphone filmer Francois] Nel [said] he stopped at the scene when he saw about 20 people surrounding the man’s car. “When I arrived on the scene, I heard police accusing the man of using the k-word,” Nel said.

Nel said after metro officers saw the man’s firearm, they then accused him of pointing it at them.

He said the man never took out his firearm…

“The officer did not once say on which grounds they are arresting him, they only loaded him into the car,” Nel said.

However, JMPD spokesperson, Wayne Minnaar, said a JMPD superintendent who was driving an unmarked vehicle stopped the driver of a Kia car for reckless driving.

“The driver showed the officer signs and called the superintendent the ‘K’ word,” Minnaar said.

Minnaar said after he also allegedly stabbed the superintendent in the neck with a car key, the driver of the Kia was arrested and his firearm removed.

This is definitely a case of two sides to every story, and with a court date yet to be confirmed it may be a while (if it all) before we know what really went down before the recording began.
