Kids shaken as cops trash huis in drug search
RANSACKED: Cops turned Noeroeniesa Sadan’s Tafelsig home upside down to find drugs
A Mitchells Plain woman says evil cops terrorised her children while she was out after they came to look for guns and drugs in her home.
Noeroeniesa Sadan from Tafelsig says she was at work when police forced their way into her home.
“On 25 September while I was at work, SAPS came into my home, and kicked off my safety gate because someone had informed SAPS that I sell drugs.
“They gun-pointed my kids, wrecked my home, damaged my appliances and traumatised my kids.
“I don’t have anything to do with drugs, I have no idea where SAPS got this information.
She says her son would have opened the gate for them if they had asked nicely.
“My eldest son who just turned 18 and is in matric opened the door for them.
“He was told to lay on the floor and they undressed him looking for tattoos in front of his younger siblings,” she says.
“The manner in which they did all of this is not right, children are not supposed to be scared of police.
“My children are still in shock after what happened. For a single mother having to take off days from work to take them to see a doctor is not good because if I’m not at work I don’t get paid,” she says.
Noeroeniesa says she went to the police ombudsman to lay a charge against the cops involved.
Deidre Foster, spokesperson for the Western Cape Police Ombudsman, confirmed that a complaint was registered and is in the process of being reviewed.
“Our office may only investigate the service delivery aspects of a complaint so we will look into the alleged behaviour of the officers at the time of the incident,” Foster says.
