Mashatile Faces No Legal Consequences Yet Over Alleged Blue-Light Convoy ‘Lie’

There have been no legal consequences yet for the deputy president of South Africa, Paul Mashatile, amid testimony in the Randburg Magistrates Court by one of the eight “blue light brigade” assault suspects, Shadrack Kojoana, who claims that the deputy president was travelling in the convoy with them.

According to IOL, Kojoana’s statement contradicts Mashatile’s previous denial through his spokesperson that he was not in any convoy vehicles during the incident. The suspects face multiple charges, including assault, firearm discharging, and reckless driving.

Concerns have arisen about whether Mashatile may have lied about his involvement. The State intends to oppose bail for the suspects, given the severity of the assault, captured on camera and widely shared on social media, which has drawn attention to the controversial “blue-light brigade.”

Action Society South Africa has called for SAPS to terminate the officers’ employment contracts and for the court to deny their bail.
