In a high-profile case involving Deputy President Paul Mashatile, eight VIP protection officers linked to an assault incident on the N1 had their initial court appearances at the Randburg Magistrates Court. The efforts of the officers to block the media from court proceedings and have their faces covered, failed when the magistrate upheld press freedom rights in the public interest. Business day TV spoke with Sunday Times reporter, Khanyisile Ngcobo for more detail on the case.
