Police stopped the funeral procession of alleged African National Congress (ANC) member Mr Samuel Mjobo on the outskirts of Mbekweni to search the hearse for flags. Mr Mjobo, killed with six other men in a shootout with police in Gugulethu on March 3, was buried in Mbekweni, near Paarl, yesterday. Mr Tian van der Merwe, Progressive Federal Party MP for Green Point, who attended the funeral, criticised the police action which held up the procession of more than 100 cars and buses.
