Pretoria - A Limpopo man is claiming R580 000 in damages from the province's MEC for roads and transport after three traffic officials allegedly tried to strangle him and "stabbed" him with a pen because he apparently refused to pay them a bribe.
The Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, gave Lodewikus de Klerk, 49, the green light to continue with his claim, although the prescribed time had expired.
