The Independent Police Investigative Directorate has collected witness statements and confiscated firearms during a preliminary probe into the death of a man amid a student protest in Braamfontein.
The Right2Know Campaign strongly condemns the brutal manner in which police have dealt with protesting students at Wits University. We are also deeply saddened by the news that an innocent passerby was shot and killed by the police. We send our condolences to the family of the deceased and encourage them to sue the state.
We call on the Police Minister, Bheki Cele and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) to take swift action against the members of the police involved in the killing of an innocent man. We also call for action against the officers who were involved in shooting the protesting students at that institution. We understand that students were shot at with rubber bullets, but these are just as harmful as live ammunition. Students sustained severe injuries from being shot with rubber bullets.
