Action SA Coordinator in Diepsloot and one of the comminity leaders, Armstrong Nombaba, has lambasted what he terms criminal elements that hijacked the protests in Diepsloot and killed Elvis Nyathi.
“If the councillors are going to convene a meeting and then someone died in that manner, we feel someone should suffer the consequences. Because the person that was killed, the information that we got, the people who were protesting, having pangas and whatever, even if you were South African you were going to run away. The manner in which they were doing you were going to run away. They find people sitting on the street sitting, I don’t know what they were doing, they ran away.
Nombaba has questioned the role of the police and those who attended an earlier meeting before Nyathi was killed. He has also criticised the meeting currently underway with Cabinet members and the SAPS leadership saying it was not fully representative. “I was in there and David Makhura kicked me out. It is not right. They are only speaking to their ANC people in there.”Share article
