Johannesburg, 15 November 2018 – a man from Gauteng claims about R330,000 from the police after he was arrested in 2012 and held in custody for 8 days. The police conceded that they did not have a warrant for Bryan de Klerk’s detention, who was arrested on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
