Only 49 police brutality cases probed from first months of hard lockdown?

Only 49 police brutality cases probed from first months of hard lockdown? 8 March 2021 1:22 PM Share This: IPID is investigating cases that took place in March and April 2020 but Viewfinder s Daneel Knoetze says 199 cases were reported. IPID is investigating 49 police brutality cases that occurred on March and April 2020, in the first months of hard lockdown. The police investigative directorate at the time had a different tally, suggests Knoetze. In an IPID slideshow given to Parliament on 2p April and in that slideshow the IPID report that 199 cases relating to Covid-19 operations were under investigation. Daneel Knoetze - Viewfinder That begs the question suddenly to me, what happened to the other 150 cases that were reported to Parliament? And this is just relating to the first couple of weeks of lockdown 26 March to 17 April. SO I think there is an inconsistency there.

Optimism as rapists get life sentences

First published in the Daily Maverick 168 weekly newspaper. Between December 2020 and 3 March 2021, 10 South African men were sentenced to life imprisonment for rape. Those men removed from society include a 37-year-old uncle who raped his 10-year-old niece, a 44-year-old man who raped his 14-year-old stepdaughter, a man who raped a nine-year-old and an 11-year-old after luring them into his home, as well as two serial rapists who kidnapped their victims, held them hostage and raped them. Although this might seem like a drop in the ocean in a country that lives with a seemingly permanent “second plague” of gender-based violence (GBV), the sentences by courts across the country are a moment for pause and faint optimism.
