EFF and ActionSA demand answers over SANDF at #JusticeForCweCwe protest

EFF and ActionSA challenge the SANDF’s presence at #JusticeForCweCwe protests, demanding urgent answers from Parliament.

The Economic Freedom Fighters has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly, while ActionSA has addressed a letter to Defence Minister Angie Motshekga, both demanding clarification regarding the alleged deployment of the South African National Defence Force during the #JusticeForCweCwe protests in Matatiele on Tuesday.

“But what is provoking the crowd is that there is the deployment of SANDF. We don’t know who deployed them. There is a deployment of heavy security by the school, and now we’re saying, ‘Who’s in charge of this country?’” Dyantyi told“We are marching and demonstrating our rights. Then, there is a deployment of SANDF. When we needed them to be here to make sure that they fight the injustice that is taking place in Matatiele, they were nowhere to be found.

The red berets took it further and sent a letter to the speaker of the National Assembly, Thoko Didiza, demanding answers on the deployment of the SANDF at the protest.
