Committee welcomes swift arrest of suspects linked to Zandspruit mob justice
20 May 2021
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has welcomed the swift arrest of 3 suspects who have been charged with murder and attempted murder following an alleged mob attack on 9 people in Zandspruit on Wednesday morning.
Of the 9 people who were violently attacked by a vigilante group in the community of Zandspruit, 6 have been reported to have lost their lives while the other 3 remain critical in hospital.
The Committee applauds law enforcement officers who are working on this case for their swift actions which led to the arrest of the 3 suspects and call on community members of Zandspruit to work closely with the Police to ensure that all those who were involved in the alleged mob justice are brought to book.
The actions of these officers demonstrate that community members can still have confidence in law enforcement agencies in our country and should refrain from taking the law into their hands.
