According to Zim, four police officers arrested Mohale on 2 November 2019 for dealing in dagga, before raiding his home without a search warrant. Itâs further alleged one of the arresting warrant officers made racial slurs when addressing Mohale before he was detained inside a dog cage at the back of a police van.
Despite the arrest and raid, the applicant was released from prison two days after the incident and to date, the matter has not been placed on a court roll. Zim, says the dignity of his client was violated when racial slurs were directed at him. Furthermore, his placement inside a dog cage dehumanised him and âcaused him suffering, pain and traumaâ.
