# The high-profile case of deputy president Paul Mashatile’s eight VIP protection officers today returns to the Randburg Regional Court in Gauteng. The officers dubbed the Blue Light Mafia face assault and damage to property charges after a 2023 video showed them attacking motorists on the N1 highway. The defence will argue a Section 174 application to have charges dropped due to insufficient evidence. Action Society’s Juanita du Preez condemned the move as a delaying tactic:
