MEC driver

No charges yet for driver of MEC’s blue-light BMW who (allegedly) ran down Thomas Feirrera on Saturday, Nov 4 2011

2011-11-10 Picture: the driver of MEC Humphrey Mmemezi’s luxury BMW X5 is well-known in Krugersdorp for his high-speed, rude behaviour in traffic, witnesses say … and when he got out of the car, he never even glanced at the critically-injured Afrikaner youth he’d run down: he merely went to inspect the damage to the car, witnesses say.

Louise Ferreira, Beeld journalist, is writing that ‘the driver who ran down Thomas Ferreira, 18, of Krugersdorp on his bike Saturday, has not been charged. SAPS lt.col Katlego Mogale says ‘statements have not yet been taken from witnesses’. Mogale told Ferreira that ‘a case of reckless and negligent driving is being investigated, but that ‘the man would not be arrested but a warning would be issued for him to appear in court “.

Thomas, still in a coma with suspected brain-damage, is meanwhile undergoing surgery on his badly damaged arm and a leg, said his uncle Johan Ferreira.

And while the officials of the Gauteng provincial government including premier Nomvula Mokonyane continue to confirm that MEC Mmemezi was inside the high-speed, blue-light official vehicle, he himself insists that he was not in the car. Ms Mokonyane had said in an extraordinary interview with the news media outside the Ferreira family home that the MEC ‘was inside the car but was immediately whisked away from the accident scene by body-guards’ and ‘rushed to an urgent meeting in Krugersdorp.’ Krugersdorp residents Lizanne and Peet van Wyk and other witnesses said this was however not the case; that the driver ‘definitely was alone inside the vehicle.” Mrs van Wyk told Ferreira that: ‘it’s not possible that he could have been sitting on the back seat. He would have needed medical treatment. And what about his bodyguards? We would have seen them too”. Other witnesses such as George Stander of Cape Town who was with a group of friends that night, said the same thing: “There were three people in shorts who climbed from a taxi. Don’t tell me those were bodyguards. Those were the only people we saw around (the driver).’

Stander’s friend Niel Muller of Krugersdorp agreed: It was Muller who took the photographs of the accident scene: Ferreira’s bike, the government-BMW and also photographed the driver getting out of the BMW alone.

Another friend in this group also said he ‘walked past the BMW to look at the damage. “There was no-one on the front seat. “On the left rear window the airbag had expanded and there was no-one on the rear seat, unless it was a very tiny person hiding in the car-boot, there was no-one’. The Premier’s spokesman Xoli Mngambi however still insisted when speaking to Ms Ferreira that the MEC had been inside the car. Asked by Beeld why Mmemezi and his driver had not gone over to the badly injured Thomas Ferreira, Mngambi said: “they did not want to interfere in the CRIME SCENE…’ He also refused to say what could have been so urgent for the MEC’s official to rush at high speed through a red-light at the intersection with their blue-lights flashing. “It forms part of the official police-investigation and we cannot divulge that information,’ Mngambi said.

Meanwhile a worker at a Krugersdorp insleepdiens, Frik Niemand, said he often parks his van at the corner of Shannon- and Voortrekker Road where Ferreira was run over. A speed-camera is installed there, and the camera records that particular BMW X5 day and night. ‘The man nearly run me off the road once,’ he said. Yet people are too terrified to testify against this government-driver in court about his allegedly bullying, high-speed behaviour in traffic. “If people don’t get out of his way, he blasts away on his car-horn, curses and shouts. He recognised the driver from pictures published in Beeld. “He often drives on Voortrekker Road and he NEVER drives slowly,’ he emphasized.

Accident scene

The Krugersdorp Afrikaans high school pupil was on his way to his girlfriend’s home in Randfontein on his motorbike on Sunday-morning when the youth was hit by an official vehicle of the Gauteng province’s ANC-MEC for local government and housing, Humphrey Mmemezi. The vehicle was a white BMW X5. (picture)

Driver only concerned about vehicle damage

Irate witnesses said the black driver of the blue-light BMW ‘did not even look at the child he’d knocked down: he got out to look at the damage to his car’. The driver was not part of any official convoy. Official spokesmen could provide no explanation as to why he was using his flashing blue light when he passed a taxi on the left of the yellow line, jumped the red traffic light and crashed into the Afrikaner youth riding his motorbike (below) Afterwards, after he’d climbed from the car and inspected the damage, the driver of the BMW was taken to hospital with claimed ‘neck and back injuries and trauma’(picture above)

to say they were going to perform an operation to insert a monitor in his brain and relieve the pressure,” Ferreira said. “After the operation the doctor phoned to say it looks as if there is serious brain damage.”"]Family says Thomas is in a critical condition in the ICU of the Krugersdorp Hospital. He has a fractured arm and leg, several facial fractures, and swelling and haemorrhaging of the brain. His parents, Paul and Priscilla Ferreira, said on Monday he is in a coma and on a ventilator. "The hospital phoned this morning [Monday

Witnesses Peet and Lizanne van Wyk were also on their way to Randfontein when they saw the accident take place. “We were in the turning lane and there was a taxi on our left. The guy in the BMW overtook the taxi on the left on the yellow line. He jumped the red robot,” said Lizanne van Wyk. “He had no sirens, but did have flashing blue lights. Then I just heard a crash.”We wanted to turn when I shouted to my husband to stop, because the guy had knocked down a child on a motorcycle,” she said. According to Van Wyk, the man “did not even look at the child”.”He got out and looked to see what the damage was to his car.”The Van Wyks then phoned an ambulance. They said the driver was by himself in the vehicle and was not part of a convoy. It was reported earlier that Mmemezi was also in the vehicle. But Victor Moreriane, Mmemezi’s spokesman said that ‘according to police at the scene that was not the case.” The driver – fit enough to get out and look at the damage to the BMW’, nevertheless was also “admitted to hospital for shock, neck and back injuries”. Moreriane said ‘the circumstances leading to the accident cannot be confirmed until the driver has been discharged and has made a statement. “For the same reason he also cannot say why the driver apparently had the blue lights on, since the MEC was not in the vehicle. ” Thomas’ girlfriend, Chanel Kloppers, 16, a Grade 11 pupil, said he was on his way to her home so she could help him study. “We usually give him about 45 minutes to get to us, but this time he was taking much longer. I tried to phone him, but his phone was off. “I then phoned his mother on my mother’s phone and just heard, ‘Annemarie, Thomas was in a very serious accident’.” Chanel’s mother, Annemarie van Wyk, said they could not get through to the Ferreiras again. They then phoned the Krugersdorp Hospital, where they heard he had been admitted. “On the way to the hospital we were driving past the scene of the accident and didn’t even think that was it,” said Chanel.”Then we saw the orange of his motorbike…
