Health officials from the City of Cape Town and Western Cape Government are trying to gain entry into the Central Methodist Church in the CBD where foreign nationals are being accommodated following reports of an outbreak of chicken pox.

They say a group of foreign nationals led by Jean-Pierre Balous, who was arrested for assault, is refusing them entry into the building. Balous has been charged with eight counts of assault and is due to appear in court. Health officials say his followers are demanding his release. Balous has been accused of being untrustworthy by another group led by Papi Sukami. More than 800 foreign nationals have been living inside the church since being removed outside the office of the UN High Commission for Refugees in Green Market Square in October. Police are monitoring the situation.

Tommy Swift, 59, and his wife, Maureen, 52, were robbed, tied, repeatedly assaulted and robbed by three men in their home in Myburgh Park, Langebaan, on Saturday. The couple moved from Gauteng to the West Coast three years ago.

“My wife was traumatized and very hurt. They tied our puppy to her back and threatened to cut the dog’s throat if my wife didn’t give them our bank cards PIN. All her teeth in her mouth were loose as they kicked and punched her.

Tommy says that they were lying on their living room couches watching television. They usually wait for their son, Tommy Swift Jr., to come home when he finishes work at night.

“It’s just easier, because then I can open it immediately when he gets home.”

Tommy says their puppy, who lives in the house, was previously restless. He said she kept going to the windows and barking.

Durban – The four Inanda police officers arrested for kidnapping, assault and extortion at a truck yard in Springfield Park recently have not been suspended from the force, the Durban Magistrate’s Court heard on Friday.

One will report weekly to the station where he works as part of his bail conditions while the others will have to sign the bail register at stations closer to their homes.

At their bail application on Friday, investigating officer Detective Captain Paulos Sithembiso Vezi’s affidavit described how they were arrested.

One of the accused placed a call to arrange a meeting to receive clandestine money, but the cellphone receiving his call was at the wrong place – it was answered by the victim who was at Greenwood Park police station reporting the crime. His phone was placed on loudspeaker mode while the arrangements were being made.

Police then followed the “victim” to the meeting place and caught three men, who turned out to b
