# A Johannesburg police officer and 42 of his alleged accomplices are to appear in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court today. They face numerous charges, including murder, related to taxi violence. Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili says they were arrested after shots were fired at a filling station in Irene in Tshwane last week and police discovered a man’s body. The victim is thought to have been a member of one of two groups involved in a fight. Apart from the fatality, two other people were left in critical condition.
