GROBLERSDAL – The 63 year-old owner of WIPS security company, Piet Groenewald and his stepson Stephan Greeff (27), who were arrested on 18 January in connection with an assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm charge, were remanded to custody when they appeared before the Groblersdal Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 4 April.

Their case was postponed to 8 May 2024, for trial. Groenewald and Greeff were arrested following an incident in which Groenewald hit one of the security company’s guards, the 30 year-old Veneruru Kavari, with a hard object.

 The assault on Kavari came after he was accused of having been found intoxicated while on duty.  After the supervisor drove the victim to Groblersdal to discuss the matter with the manager, Groenewald allegedly carried out the assault and instructed Greeff to unleash their pet dog on Kavari, who is a Namibian national. The dog bit Kavari on both legs.

The victim reported the matter to the police and a case of assault GBH was opened. The two suspects were traced and arrested the following day.

 Kavari was performing his guard duties at the network tower battery on Wednesday, 17 January in Kwaggafontein, Mpumalanga when the supervisor paid an oversight visit.
