EDITOR SUES SECURITY FIRM

EDITOR of the Durban-based Daily News Kaizer Nyatsumba is suing a security company for R1-million after security guards allegedy assaulted him at Gauteng’s Eastgate shopping centre on Thursday. The guards who work for Baron Security apparently accused Nyatsumba of stealing an old Ford and abandoning it in the parking area. The guards allegedly tried to force him to confess despite his pleas of innocence. “I feel terribly embarrassed and humiliated. I have never been subjected to such a situation before,” Nyatsumba told The Star. He said the guards continued to be aggressive even after they realised they had made a mistake.
