Slaughter of sheep at Clifton beach not criminal - Cele | Ethan_VD
Police Minister Bheki Cele said Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato informed police officers at Clifton Fourth Beach in December that a by-law would have been contravened were a sheep to be slaughtered, but"to date", no such by-law had been provided to the police.
Madisha asked whether the slaughter of a sheep on the beach was lawful and if the police were justified in not intervening when officials from the City of Cape Town tried to stop the slaughter.The incident happened on December 28 when members of the lobby group Black People's National Crisis Committee slaughtered a sheep after private security guards had allegedly forced beachgoers to leave the beach on December 23.
Cele noted that"regulation does not contain an offence or penalty clause and the conduct is, therefore, not criminalised and is merely a prohibition".
