Successful prosecution in a court of law relies mainly on the evidence
provided by witnesses. Individuals who volunteer information when requested to
do so, not only help in the eradication of crime and criminality but also
enables the South African Police Service to provide a safe and secure
environment for all. On 11 September 2006, at approximately 03h30, W Mthonazi
(23), was shot and critically wounded outside Mdala Tavern, situated in Phase
