STATE DECLINES TO PROSECUTE THE NHA’S SPECIAL INVESTIGATING OFFICER ON ASSAULT CHARGES

Mrs Marcelle Peter had laid criminal charges in November 2023 against Mr Riaan Janse Van Rensburg, a Senior Special Investigating Officer in the employ of The National Horseracing Authority, from events that took place at Mr Anthony Peter’s stables at Turffontein Racecourse on the day of the Summer Cup on 25 November 2023.

Following the completion of investigations by the South African Police into this charge, the Control Prosecutor at the Booysens Magistrate Court, on 4 March 2024, on considering all available evidence, inclusive of the video footage of the days event, declined to prosecute for lack of a prima facie case

The state also declined to prosecute Zuma or anyone else for the Arms Tender.

No one of any magnitude got prosecuted for the Gupta Waterkloof scandal.

This means nothing. If I were the Peters I would go for a private prosecution. Its all on video that barbarian manhandled her.

.....the video was included according to the press release but prosecutor not swayed....said from the outset that the ex-cop will be immune from prosecution.....on the other hand the strength of the video evidence seems weak and should be as easy to dispel in the Peter's civil suite should the NHRA still want to defend.....the more than 100 days to convene the initial enquiry does not bode well for the NHRA either.....
