‘Assault over salt’
NPA regional spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi said the teenage boy and his cousin were at Fatcake City shop when he asked to use the same seasoning as Pretorius.
Pretorius allegedly became furious and started assaulting the 16-year-old by pushing him outside the store. The incident was captured on video and has since gone viral.
“He continued assaulting the boy while pointing him with a firearm, until the accused eventually left the complainant lying on the ground.
“A video of the incident was captured and posted on social media. The complainant was later taken to Groblersdal Hospital, where he got medical attention and later discharged,” Malabi-Dzhangi said.
According to Limpopo police, other shoppers watched helplessly as Pretorius assaulted the boy.
