LOUIS TRICHARDT – Limpopo provincial spokesperson Col Ronel Otto confirmed today that a case of defamation of character was opened on November 5 by the owner of the building against the Sowetan newspaper.

The newspaper published an article on Wednesday that the Vleissentraal office block in Louis Trichardt allocated toilets according to race.

The case was opened at the Makhado police station. The building’s owner Bennie van der Merwe confirmed on Friday that he had opened a case against the newspaper.

“The allegations are not true. The newspaper didn’t even consult us. They didn’t phone us for comment,” he said.

He said another case of intimidation was also opened with the police.
