Independent Democrats secretary general Haniff Hoosen has laid a complaint with the Human Rights Commission against a senior Hawks investigator Trompies Theron.

The colonel is alleged to have thrown racial abuse against a security guard at the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court in Cape Town during an argument over a parking space.

Theron is alleged to have called the guard a "baboon", telling him that the Western Cape belongs to white people.

The matter has been handed to the HRC for further investigation.
