SABC News reports that Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) CEO Advocate Makhosini Msibi says the traffic officers allegedly involved in the assault of a motorist have been suspended pending an investigation.

According to businessman Thulani Msimango, he was assaulted by two RTMC officers for reportedly refusing to pay a bribe. This after he failed to stop at a stop sign that was apparently not visible on Friday near Southgate Mall. A video of the incident was captured by bystanders as Msimango was continuously beaten. Msibi commented that the conduct of the officers in the video was inappropriate.
