ACSU officers arrested after filling the gap left by authorities
Ermelo, Conrad Bouwer
11 December
Two private security officers from ACSU remain in custody following an early-morning shooting in the Steve Biko Informal Settlement, Ermelo. According to a concerned mother, her daughter was involved in a domestic violence incident on Thursday night, 5 December 2024, during which she endured threats and intimidation that left her fearing for her safety. The mother stated that the situation was so dire that she felt compelled to seek additional help beyond the initial police involvement. Despite seeking assistance, she claims her daughter’s safety was not ensured. In desperation, she contacted ACSU founder Oubaas de Jager directly on Friday in the early morning hours.
