Charges of reckless and negligent driving were read to him.

Magistrate AK Khan postponed the case to October 3 for trial.

Semitjie was warned to appear.

A huge group of family and friends were at the court to support the VIP protection unit policeman.

Thomas Ferreira was hit by a VIP vehicle linked to Gauteng local government and housing MEC Humphrey Mmemezi in November last year.

Ferreira was in a coma in hospital for a while and has apparently suffered permanent physical damage because of the accident.

A lawyer for the Ferreira family was at the court, but not the family.

Ferreira received an interim payout of about R800000 from the Road Accident Fund for hospital expenses.

Earlier, in reply to a question by the DA, Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane said she refused to allow the Ferreira issue to be politicised. She said she would honour her promise to ensure that all Ferreira's expenses were paid.

These VIP protection drivers think they own the land and these as..hol... think they are above the law, this situation is like that of that fck Mugabe where the his drivers knock people, these VIP drivers do not use their heads treating us as if we are not to use the roads. Can you imagine the family and friends in the court now they want to politicise the whole thing. It is a child again in south africa being treated negligently.
