From [HERE] Eight police officers have been charged with murder for the death of a taxi driver dragged by a police van. The video, showing police officers strap Mido Macia to their vehicle then drive away, has become a symbol of police brutality in South Africa.

Officers seemed unconcerned about the crowd that watched in horror as Mr Macia was dragged off in Daveyton, near ­Johannesburg.Some shouted that they were filming and one yelled: “What’s he done?”

Two cops knocked him off his feet as the van drove away to stop him trying to run behind it. He had been arrested because his cab was allegedly obstructing traffic and died in a cell two hours after the incident on Tuesday.

A postmortem found Mr Macia, 27, from Mozambique, died of head injuries and internal bleeding. Eight policemen from Daveyton have today been charged with murder.

In a statement, South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma said that the “visuals of the incident are horrific, disturbing and unacceptable.” “No human being should be treated in that manner,” he added. South Africa's police chief Gen Riah Phiyega said she shared "the extreme shock and outrage" over the video evidence of abuse of Macia by police officers and said his rights were "violated in the most extreme form."

Today his friends and relatives of gathered around a simple wooden table in the poor township of Daveyton to mourn his death.
