News24.com | Cele condemns ‘lawlessness’ outside Senekal court, calls for protesters to be arrested

You Need Posted on by

  • Bheki Cele has condemned the violence outside a Free State court on Tuesday.
  • He called for protesters to be arrested.
  • The protests flared up after a young farm manager was killed.

Police Minister
Bheki Cele has labelled the actions of protesters outside the Senekal
Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday as “lawlessness”, and called for those
found to have taken part to be arrested.

This after
demonstrators allegedly torched a police vehicle and stormed the court’s holding
cell, where two men, accused of murdering a young farm manager, are being kept.

On
Tuesday, Cele said the police had to use tear gas to disperse the “violent” group.

of Brendin Horner murder accused‘

“This
type of lawlessness can’t be justified nor taken lightly,” he added.

“There
is no logic when these protesters burn a police van, which is the same resource
that is meant to assist them. It is also baffling why the anger of this
community is being directed towards the police, when arrests have been made by
the police and the suspects are before the courts.”

Protesters try to push a nyala police vehicle outside court as tensions flared.

Cele said while the right to peaceful protest was part of any
democratic society and enshrined in the country’s Constitution, it came with
responsibilities.

News24 earlier reported it
remained unclear who was responsible for firing two gunshots during the
altercation at the court.

Boere Droogtehulp founder Chris
van Beljon, who was at the scene, said the shots were fired by the
police. 

“No, it was definitely the
police. No farmer shot anything, I can assure you,” Van Beljon added. 

Independent Police Investigative
Directorate spokesperson Ndileka Cola said it would decide whether to
investigate a case of police misconduct, News24 reported.

News24.com | Fort Hare places 2 staff members on precautionary suspension pending GBV probe

The University of Fort Hare. (File, Netwerk24)

The University of Fort Hare has placed two staff members on precautionary suspension pending the outcome of a sexual harassment and gender-based violence probe. 

A communiqué sent by the university’s vice-chancellor and principal, Professor Sakhela Buhlungu, at the end of last month advised staff and students of the suspensions. 

In it, Buhlungu said the precautionary suspension of the staff members was due to unrelated cases. 

The cases emanated from complaints lodged against them for alleged serious misconduct, he added. 

“The allegations of serious misconduct relate to the university’s policy on harassment, sexual harassment and gender-based violence, adopted on 13 September 2019, as well as the university’s code of conduct and related policies,” the advisory, also posted on the institution’s social media platforms, read. 

Buhlungu said the university took contraventions of the policy serious and the two cases would receive the requisite attention to ensure disciplinary inquiries took place as soon as possible.
