Newzroom Afrika has placed broadcast journalist Aldrin Sampear on break following an assault case.
The television channel released a statement confirming that it is aware of the allegations.
This follows after a 20-year-old university student has filed an assault charge against Sampear after a road rage incident in which he allegedly struck the rear right side of her car.
In a video footage, Aldrin is seen confronting the woman, accusing her of giving him the middle finger, while the woman accuses him of physically hitting her.
“Sampear will take a break from his broadcast duties with immediate effect, pending an internal review of the matter. Newzroom Afrika takes the allegations very seriously and we will work swiftly to address the concerns raised.”
