SAPS disputes claims of inadequate support for cop

The police officer acknowledged this support but said they fell short in aftercare following his discharge from rehabilitation.

Last week the Cape Argus reported on Esterhuizen, who became paralysed from the shoulder down after a car accident along the N7 in February 2023.He began fundraising publicly for his biokinetic therapy sessions, claiming SAPS failed to cover this or 20 of his physiotherapy sessions after his rehabilitation discharge.

The matter has drawn the attention of Ian Cameron, the National Assembly Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Police, who has written to management for answers.

In a statement, National Police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said Esterhuizen's version was misinformation.
