Some ANC members could face the law for breaking lockdown regulations

-


The South African Police Services (SAPS) are investigating the violation of lockdown regulations by many mourners at the home of the late struggle icon Andrew Mlangeni.

According to the Spokesperson of the SAPS Vishnu Naidoo, the police have received several calls to arrest mourners who contravened the lockdown regulations at the funeral of the late Icon yesterday.  The regulations in terms of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 makes provision for the dispensing of crowds who gather illegally, and it also makes provision to hold accountable a person [s] who convenes or organises illegal gatherings.

The president had announced months ago that only 50 people are allowed at a funeral.

Naidoo said a case of contravention of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 will be opened for investigation.

“On completion of this investigation a docket will be submitted to the directorate of the Public prosecution for a decision,” said Naidoo.

The ANC, which was the one which, organised the event has since come out defending the activities which took place, saying they had planned sufficiently for the arrival of the remains of the late Icon.

The Late Andrew Mlangeni was laid to rest this morning. He died last week aged 95. President Cyril Ramaphosa paid tribute to the Stalwart saying his passing marks the end of an era of extraordinary freedom fighters.

"The time I finished my matric, mining was one of the sectors which had many jobs, and studying geology made sense to me at that time," said Phaahlamohlaka. She says she wanted to help matriculants, not to choose courses they do not want and also to help those who do not have finances to pay for application and registration fees.
