As part of its “Police Abuse of Power Barometer” project, AfriForum
has released shocking visual material of metro police members
unlawfully yanking a young lady around and arresting her. During the
broadcasting of the M-Net programme, Carte Blanche, on Sunday 14 March
2010, the story of the 24 year-old Magdel Steyn was told. She was
arrested by the Tshwane Metro Police on a charge of reckless and
negligent driving after allegedly double-parking.
According to Nantes Kelder, Head of Community Safety of AfriForum, the
visual material shows shocking images of Steyn’s rights being
violated. He added that AfriForum hopes that people like Julius
Malema will condemn this incident with the same fervour as that with
which the so-called Reitz incident had been condemned.
“AfriForum has already discussed the matter with Mr Francois Beukman,
the Executive Director of the Independent Complaints Directorate
(ICD). The incident is regarded in a serious light and the ICD will
investigate it further,” Kelder said.
Kelder added that a letter of AfriForum’s legal team has already been
served to the Head of the Tshwane Metro Police, Commissioner Mutle.
In the letter AfriForum asks for the latter’s undertaking that action
will be taken against the metro police members involved immediately.
AfriForum also demands in the letter that these members should be
suspended, or be withdrawn from active policing duties. If this does
not happen, AfriForum will apply for a urgent court order to enforce
these demands.
Kelder once again encouraged members of the public to tell their
stories about incidents of power abuse by police members at www.afriforum.co.za.
AfriForum will assist people with legal advice. In his opinion, these
kinds of abuse are primarily due to a lack of discipline and
supervision. He appealed to the public always to act within the
framework of the law.
