SOUTH Africa's police watchdog has arrested eight policemen on murder charges linked to the death of a Mozambican taxi driver who died in custody after being dragged by a police van.
"Eight policemen have been arrested by IPID at Benoni police station," Moses Dlamini, spokesman for the Independent Police Investigation Directorate, told AFP on Friday.
Twenty-seven-year-old Mozambican taxi driver Mido Macia was filmed being manhandled, handcuffed and dragged by a police van through the streets to a police station east of Johannesburg.
Just over two hours later he was found dead in custody.
A post mortem examination found the cause of death was head injuries with internal bleeding.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) then opened its murder investigation.
South African President Jacob Zuma earlier condemned the killing as "horrific, disturbing and unacceptable".
Footage of the incident spread quickly online and sent shockwaves through the country, shining a spotlight yet again on the conduct of South Africa's much maligned police force.
