It isn't as case of being a pantomime, because anyone knowing South Africa and some of the neighbouring states would know that is how the law works. Detective Botha and two of his colleagues were apparently accused of shooting at a bus (term bus in SA can mean different to the UK), and the case was then dropped, 'due to lack of evidence'.

Security rules are very different in that part of the world, and some other so called civilised countries, and have no or very little comparison to those of the UK. Its possible and perhaps necessary that some people want to realise this, before comparing the laws or rules of the UK to those elsewhere!.
