Speaking to the Estcourt News moments ago, Dladla said that indeed police officials had visited his home in Weenen on Thursday (June 9).
“I was at a meeting at the municipality and I got a call from my wife saying that there were police all over the yard,” said Dladla.
His wife informed him, during the phone call, that the police told her they were searching for a vehicle.
“They opened the garage and went through the house, breaking things. They did not respond to questions from my wife. I told her to ask them for a search or arrest warrant as well as their identification cards,” Dladla went on to explain.
He called the Weenen police to find out if they were aware of the search but they allegedly were not and officers were sent to Dladla’s home.
“When the Weenen police arrived, the other police had left. They took my 308 rifle, R1,000 cash as well as liquor. To my wife’s knowledge, there were no explosives taken, as stated in the allegations against me,” he said.
“I was at home all day yesterday (June 10) to avail myself to the police but no one came. If I do not receive information from the police by Monday, I will try to locate them through my lawyer,” concluded Dladla.
Police have not yet released official information regarding this matter.
