Hawks: Eight more July unrest suspects arrested
“If one can understand the complicated nature of the investigation that we have been dealing with, the public should rest assured that nothing that appeared in public was left unattended.
“So, as to the evidence that we tabled before the prosecuting authority to make a determination of prosecuting or otherwise is a different matter.” “There are certain things that may appear in the media space which we obviously take note of that, package those in a form of a docket and after completion tabled it before the prosecution,” Lebeya said.“So, I wouldn’t be indicating who are the others, and we don’t necessarily rank them. We are not influenced by any political affiliation. Everybody in South Africa has got the right to belong to a political organisation of their choice.”More than 350 people were killed during the July unrest.
The anarchy was triggered by the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma, who was in contempt of a court order.
