Pit Bull Debate Rips the EFF Apart scrollaafrica: SouthAfrica
The EFF leadership ordered all party members to surrender their pit bulls to the SPCA following a spate of killings of people -- including children -- by these animals recently."There's no law that prohibits ownership of pit bulls. People must surrender their dogs voluntarily. No one must be compelled to do so," Khoza told Scrolla.Africa.His stance has landed him in trouble with the EFF leadership which said the order to surrender pit bulls was not negotiable.
Nkululeko Ngubane, EFF secretary in KZN, said:"The organisation has spoken. Anyone who says anything else is defining himself outside the organisation.""The only mandate we have now is to focus on reaching a membership of one million, nothing else." "In communities where owners have not surrendered their animals, communities are beginning to take matters into their own hands. Animals are being poisoned, stabbed, beaten, and set alight by angry communities," said Nair.
When Olebogeng Mosime, eight, from Bloemfontein, was mauled to death by his neighbour's pit bull in November, many South Africans raised the alarm against the ownership of the animals.
