COLD CASE
A POLICE officer who was charged for being in possession of a hijacking victim’s bank card, and was linked to the looting during the 2021 unrest, walked out of court a free man after a brief court appearance on Tuesday.
Constable Minenhle Makhaye, 27, who was a police officer at the Cato Manor police station, was arrested for being in possession of Shaida Ramsamy’s bank card.
Ramsamy was hijacked outside the McDonalds fast food outlet in Malvern on September 11, 2024.
Her daughter, Zarah, 11, who was hiding under her Toyota Fortuner when armed men demanded the vehicle’s keys from her mother, was killed after the hijackers ran over her as they made their getaway in Ramsamy’s vehicle.
Makhaye was the police officer tasked to drive the hijacked Fortuner when it was recovered in Cato Manor hours after the hijacking.
He was arrested three weeks later when police found him in possession of Ramsamy’s bank card.
