Soldiers in court after rowdy party at training base
Twelve SA Military Health Services students arrested for allegedly being involved in drinking binges have appeared in court.
They appeared in a military court in Thaba Tshwane yesterday and are facing charges ranging from common assault and public violence to disobeying a lawful command.
More than 50 students were arrested after the SAPS flying squad and several local city police station members raided barracks at the Military Health Services training formation in Thaba Tshwane after receiving calls for help from the Military Police.
The latter called for help after they were forced to retreat when students, who had barricaded roads and seized control of stairwells and corridors, allegedly threw bottles and furniture at them and sprayed them with fire extinguishers when they tried to enter the barracks.
During yesterday’s court appearance before a military judge, Lieutenant Colonel Morné Botha, two more students were added to the original 10 on the charge sheet.
Botha postponed the case for further investigation.
