The owner of the gym walks off from officers and tells a woman he believes to be his wife that he has his gun.The gun was then cocked by the owner of the gym.
You can hear a female police officer saying “Now, you are being dangerous”.
He shouts at her, “Whose is playing dangerous?” You f*****g cowards. Come on!’

‘The problem is I know how to use this f*****g thing’.
Chantal, Chantal’s spouse can be heard shouting “Guys, you are supposed protect us really!”

The female officer is then disarmed by him, and he grabs her gun.
After a long and bitter dispute with employees, Len Cloete (father-of-two), 54, was confronted at least four times by armed police officers at Muldersdrift in Gauteng.
Because a room wasn’t ready when Chantal and Mr Cloete arrived at the Misty Hills Country Hotel, it is believed that they had taken umbrage with their management.
A male officer takes out his pistol and fires one bullet at point blank distance into the head of the aggressor, making him collapse.
As he turns the fire, the video shows his muzzle explode in bright orange.
Chantal is believed to have been a Chantal woman who shouts Mr Cloete’s death.
Paramedics arrived quickly and took the man to the hospital.
Grace Langa, spokesperson for Independent Police Investigative Directorate said that the shooting took place just after midnight Saturday following an altercation.
