DA welcomes arrest of 20 instigators of July unrest
12 August 2022
Please find attached a soundbite by Andrew Whitfield MP.
The DA welcomes the arrest of 20 instigators of the July unrest which terrorised our country in 2021.
The families of the more than 300 people who died during the violent unrest deserve swift and decisive justice having waited more than a year for these arrests to be made.
The Hawks must be commended for their work in synchronising these arrests which took place across the country yesterday, however the DA remains extremely concerned by the state of policing in South Africa and Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN) in particular.
