Creecy orders suspension of officials in Nic Dlamini scuffle - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Barbara Creecy has ordered the suspension of all officials involved in an incident in which top cyclist Nic Dlamini had his arm broken allegedly by park rangers in Cape Town. I'm thrilled these thugs are being held accountable, but how many times has this happened with a non famous person, we saw a ranger bullying tourists at Boulders and had to step in and call his supervisor. It's the thing of a little power... I’m sorry but that is not how you treat someone for not having a stupid permit. A fine = ok, but don’t arrest or assault someone! That is grievous bodily harm. Insane. Imagine if he was a tourist! And what about the impact it will have on SAns and their opinion of “law enforcers” Breaking someone's arm for a permit, now he can't represent us in the competition, I can imagine the sound of a snapping bone, something should be done.
