A policeman said to have punched a motorist for not making way for a presidential convoy had his case postponed by the Tembisa Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Hlengiwe Malevu granted a request by prosecutor Justice Shitsinga for the matter to be put off to January 23, due to a congested court roll.<\/p>\n
Defence lawyer Gisbon Ngobeni, for Reeves Malebane, said he was ready to proceed with the trial.<\/p>\n
But Malevu said even if the matter could be dealt with on Wednesday, chances of it being finalised were slim.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a congested court roll and It would be unfair to keep them in court. Therefore, I grant remand for the trial.\u201d<\/p>\n
She acknowledged that the matter had dragged on for five years, saying it would be marked as preferred.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe apologise for the inconvenience, but the matter will be marked final for that day (January 23),\u201d she said to the complainant, 61-year-old Walter Scheiblecker.<\/p>\n
Scheiblecker was in court supported by his wife Cherly and daughter Monique, who is also State witness.<\/p>\n
She was with her father when he was allegedly punched by the policeman on October 27, 2006.<\/p>\n
Scheiblecker claims they were driving onto the congested freeway from Olifantsfontein road when Malebane, who was a member of then president Thabo Mbeki’s protection unit, drove into his car.<\/p>\n
Malebane then allegedly walked to Scheiblecker’s door and punched him on his left eye before he could even unfasten his seatbelt. He also allegedly swore at him and his daughter.<\/p>\n
The convoy was apparently transporting Mbeki to the launch of the then Johannesburg International Airport (now OR Tambo International Airport). – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
