TRAFFIC came to a standstill as hundreds of angry residents marched to demand the immediate arrest of Mark Scott-Crossley.
The march took place in Hoedspruit, Mpumalanga on Friday and was monitored by cops.
Protesters from the Welverdiend area of Bushbuckridge handed over a memorandum directed at Limpopo police commissioner Lieutenant-General Jimmy Ledwaba at Hoedspruit Police Station.
Scott-Crossley has not been arrested although he allegedly deliberately knocked down Silence Mabunda (38) in his car on 14 December.
Protest leader Robert Machabe said: “What Scott-Crossley did is wrong. We deserve equal treatment whether we are rich or poor, or black or white.”
Fortune Ndlovu said Mabunda cannot walk properly now.
“He can no longer provide for his family. Scott-Crossley’s lawyer lied when he said he would hand him over to the police.”
Police spokesman Brigadier Mojalefa Mojapelo said: “Scott-Crossley has not handed himself over to the police yet.
“He is facing a charge of attempted murder.”
He said Scott-Crossley’s lawyer arrived at the Hoedspruit Police Station without the suspect, seeking bail that was not granted.
Mabunda was a worker at Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre when he was knocked down on the R36 near Kampersrus.
