PRETORIA - A man accused of torturing and sexually assaulting patrons at Zanzou nightclub in Pretoria claims he was assaulted and tortured by police.
The 41-year-old bouncer made his appearance at the Pretoria magistrate's court on Monday.
He was arrested in Yeoville last week after metro police officers identified him as one of the suspects.
