Sunnyridge resident Anika Doussy has initiated a case against the Minister of Police.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old woman was picked up by a member of the Primrose police recently, as it was thought she was the missing Nikita Bekker (14).<\/p>
Doussy claims the police verbally abused her and treated her appallingly (GCN, February 20).<\/p>\n
Two local companies, Swanepoel Attorneys and Precision Debt Collectors, have taken on her case.<\/p>
\u201cAttorney Jacques Swanepoel had a proper consultation with Doussy on February 24, in respect of the alleged incident on February 11, between herself and the SAPS,” said Juanita Horn, from Precision Debt Collectors..<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the consultation it is clear that the SAPS acted unlawfully and that Doussy was very traumatised after the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Horn will assist Swanepoel with the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwanepoel Attorneys have been instructed to proceed with a civil lawsuit against the Minister of Police for damages and will work closely with us, Precision Debt Collectors, who referred Doussy,” she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis behaviour of the SAPS cannot be tolerated and they need to account for their actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public must be made aware that they have legal remedies against the SAPS, where they act unlawfully.\u201d<\/p>\n
