Durban - AfriForum has written to the KwaDukuza Municipality asking for full disclosure of the investigation into the "Ballito scuffle" in which two municipal officers were accused of manhandling a 4-year-old boy, earlier this month.
On May 11, a video was shared on social media showing two uniformed officers entering a property in Ballito and taking away a little boy. A man, believed to be the boy's father, then rushes towards the men to take his son. An investigation was launched by the KDM after residents expressed outrage and the way in which the boy was treated. However, according to the KDM, the officers acted in accordance with the Children's Act. They were then cleared of any wrongdoing.
They have asked for full disclosure of the investigation, adding these formal pronouncements by the KDM may inevitably lead to a repetition of wrongful arrests followed by hasty investigations based solely on the untested exculpatory versions or their officials which does little to ensure justice.
