Cape Town – Four people have been arrested in connection with the torching of the Desmond Tutu Hall in Khayelitsha following a protest over land invasions.
“Since last week, four people have been arrested for public violence in Mfuleni pertaining to the incidents of violence in the area and yesterday four suspects were arrested on a charge of arson following the torching of a hall in Khayelitsha,” said Traut.“We support the protest but not criminals who destroy community facilities. The hall has been helpful for the community and what is sad is that they destroy something that is meant to save their lives.
“We should have helped with high numbers of patients currently visiting clinics in the community around Desmond Tutu Hall. Sadly, this means the community will no longer be able to access this facility, which inhibits our efforts to promote a safe and healthy clinical environment for parents, mothers and children to access health services in a safe manner.”
