Officials attacked
2009-10-29
TWO officials from Drakenstein Municipality were attacked and a cellphone was stolen during working hours in Walnut Avenue in Paarl East by a member of the public. On 2 October, Willie Smal and Christian Cupido were busy working on electrical cables, due to an electricity blackout in this area, when a cellphone was stolen from their vehicle. When they confronted a suspect, Cupido was stabbed in the chest with a screwdriver. The man was arrested and Cupido was treated for light injuries. We appeal to the public to refrain from harrassment of officials as this hampers service delivery. May Carolissen (municipal spokesperson)
