Warrant Officer Jannie Odendaal, who was allegedly roughed up by Madikizela-Mandela's bodyguard, had his service pistol and police-issue cellphone confiscated yesterday morning - without formal notification or an explanation from his superiors.
Odendaal believes he is being victimised for "merely doing my job" and because he spoke to the media about an incident involving a high-profile politician.
He maintains that he was told the charges against him would be dropped if he apologised to Madikizela-Mandela. But police spokesman Colonel Neville Malila denied that Gauteng police commisioner, General Mzwandile Petros, had met Odendaal and his partner at the time of the incident and had advised them to apologise to Madikizela-Mandela.
Malila, who confirmed the charges against the two officers, also denied that Petros intended apologising to Madikizela-Mandela on behalf of the police.
"The police are not supposed to be political," Odendaal said yesterday.
"We are supposed to uphold law and order in this country and not be bullied because of a person's stature."
Madikizela-Mandela, the former wife of struggle icon and former president Nelson Mandela, is a member of the ANC's powerful national executive committee and an MP.
Odendaal's nightmare started when he and his partner stopped Madikizela-Mandela's car on the M1 North in Johannesburg, near the Xavier Road off-ramp, on December 30 because the vehicle was being driven "recklessly with its hazard lights on" at about 150km/h.
The officers followed the "suspicious" silver Audi A6, which had tinted windows.
Odendaal said he was pushed and yelled at by Madikizela-Mandela's bodyguard when he approached the car.
"He screamed at me: 'Who do you think you are?'."
Odendaal said he and the bodyguard exchanged words, with Odendaal warning the bodyguard that, if he touched him again, he would shock him with an electronic stunner.
Madikizela-Mandela allegedly yelled at Odendaal: "Who the f*&k do you think you are?"
The incident has been kept under wraps for the past two weeks but was exposed yesterday by the media.
Odendaal, who has been a policeman for almost 20 years, was this week given a week's sick leave because he is "not in a state to work following everything that has happened".
He has been transferred to the Soweto flying squad, which is based about 70km from his Brakpan home. His partner, a black officer who lives in Soweto, has been transferred to the East Rand.
"I'm extremely disappointed at the way this matter is being handled. I am now being punished for doing my job. This is ridiculous," he said.
Odendaal has now learned that charges of pointing a firearm and of common assault have been preferred against him and his partner.
"This is all a sick joke," he said.
To add insult to injury, Odendaal said he and his partner had been "advised" by Petros to apologise to Madikizela-Mandela, after which she would drop all charges against them.
He said he and his partner were told that Petros would accompany them to a meeting with Madikizela-Mandela.
"No one is above the law. She must apologise to me; I was just doing my job," Odendaal said.
Madikizela-Mandela could not be reached for comment yesterday.
The incident has angered political parties and civil rights groups.
The DA's Gauteng spokesman for safety and security in the provincial legislature, Kate Lorimer, yesterday lodged a formal complaint with the Independent Complaints Directorate, requesting an independent investigation into the matter.
Lorimer said it was a "major concern" that Madikizela-Mandela's version of events, and that of her bodyguard, were given more credence than the accounts of veteran police officers.
She questioned Petros's proposed apology.
"Madikizela-Mandela is a member of parliament and is not, by virtue of this fact, above the law," said Lorimer.
AfriForum's Nantes Kelder condemned proposals of an apology by the policemen, saying it would not be good for police morale.
"This action sends a very negative message to all [police officers] and henceforth they will hesitate to take action because of fear of victimisation.
"It was unacceptable that [police officers] who had done their best for the police for years had to be bullied into apologising."
Could this be racist and another of our goverment ministers using there position to get out of trouble? The whole blue light brigade is becoming pathetic and darn annoying to us small folk or everyday citizens

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife...
A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest...
The occasion was our 10th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie.
What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer.
The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!!
Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul)while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.
I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another.
The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and a three-second burst would
purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ...
HOLY MOTHER OF.. . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE ...!!!
I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs!
The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.
My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.. I had no control over the drooling.
Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
P.s... My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!
In the early 1940`s, the I.G. Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz..
The same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas. This same cyanide gas along with Zyklon B and malathion was used to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. Their bodies were then burned to ashes in the ovens.
After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. One of his closest friends was Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the mastermind behind the Nov./78 to Oct./79 and March/80 to Oct./81 experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities.
The salesman was ordained Poland`s youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as POPE JOHN PAUL II."
In his book 'Behold a Pale Horse,' former US Naval Intelligence Officer William Cooper relates a story associated with the IG Farben Chemical Company. In the early 1940s, that company employed a Polish chemist and salesman who sold cyanide gas, Zyklonthion to the Nazis for extermination of groups of people in Auschwitz.After the war the salesman joined the Catholic church and was ordained a priest. In 1958 he became Poland's youngest bishop and after Pope John Paul I's mysterious death, the ex-cyanide gas salesman Karol Wojtyla was elected to the papacy as Pope John Paul II in October 1978
In March 2000, he publicly apologized not for his war effort, but for the wickedness of the Christian religion. The plea for forgiveness also sought to pardon the use of 'violence in the service of truth' an often used fragile and troubling reference to the Inquisition.
The apology read by the Pope was the result of four years of work by a panel of 28 theologians and scholars and was by far the most sweeping act by a leader of a major religion. On few occasions have ecclesiastical authorities ever forgiveness?acknowledged the faults or abuses of which they themselves were guilty.
There was concern that the apology was a major theological miscalculation that could undermine the Pope's weakening authority and the unanswered question posed by the international media was -- 'In whose name was the Pope asking forgiveness?
Religion in whatever guise or creed has so much to be ashamed of and much to apologise for, it has caused more wars and suffering in history than any other single cause
