The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) is investigating yet another case of police brutality in Umlazi, south of Durban. A policeman allegedly beat a grandmother to the ground while his colleagues looked on.

The policemen thought the woman was the mother of a suspect they were searching for. It has since emerged that it was a case of mistaken identity. Siphiwe Mthembu says she was in her yard, when three policemen entered guns drawn. Without a word, one of them allegedly set on her slapping and punching her repeatedly.
