VIP officers to put up defence in assault case
November 07, 2025
|The Mercury
THE Randburg Magistrate's Court has dismissed the Section 174 discharge application brought by eight former bodyguards of Deputy President Paul Mashatile.
The SAPS VIP protection officers had sought to have their assault charges dropped.
However, Magistrate Abdul Khan dismissed their Section 174 discharge application relating to the assault charges, with the trial set to resume from March 23 to 27, 2026.
Khan ruled that only one charge - attempting to defeat the administration of justice - would be discharged, while emphasising that all the other charges would proceed, including pointing a firearm, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, malicious property damage, and reckless and negligent driving.
