Lack of respect from officials at all levels
I was verbally abused in front of Bastion Primary school when dropping my kids for school by an traffic officer(P.A. Marthinus) that was causing more traffic build up, than he was doing any good.When questioning him, about his attitude he thought good to give me a R 2000 fine(turned out to be an court order),for reasons I was not guilty of.I have witnesses ,of which 1 went to an INTERNAL hearing at the traffic department giving evidence of how this officer was acting like the sheriff of the town.<br> This incident was discussed on the radio, There was half a page in the local Tygerburger about the officers attitude.Richard Bosman(City Executive director for safety & security) mentioned in the article that allegations of this nature is taken very seriously.JUST WORDS. It was only after media intervention ,and letters to numerous officials that this was escalated to him.He has not answered any of my e-mails to him - PATHETIC!! Instead I received a letter from a secretary of the officer's office that the case has been rejected. The officers behaviour has been justified.REALLY !! - obviously protecting him!! I have witnesses - but internally they found it fine for their kind to be abusive
