The Cape Town High court has ordered the minister of police to pay a local politician R300 000 after he was wrongfully arrested.While attending his brother’s murder trial in the Cape Town high court in August 2014, Nceba Sandlana was arrested after the sister of the deceased – whose murder Sandlana’s brother was tried for – said that Sandlana had threatened her and that she feared for her safety.
Details about Sandlana’s previous convictions and pending cases were verified in court the next day and, eight days later, he was released on R500 bail. However, Sandlana abandoned his claim against the DPP for malicious prosecution, and only focused on his wrongful arrest. He described his stay in Pollsmoor as crowded and cold, and that he was ‘fortunate to receive medication for treatment of his chronic asthmatic condition. Thereafter he was taken to a euphemistically termed sleeping cell where he would spend the next 7 days.
