The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) will launch an investigation into the violence that swept across KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in July.
Among other things‚ the commission said on Friday it would examine the effectiveness of the state‚ particularly the police and security cluster as a whole‚ in maintaining public order‚ including the provision of adequate protection for the safety and security of people and property.
The commission hosted an imbizo on July 23 to consult with the public as part of its effort to understand and respond to the unrest‚ and subsequent human rights issues. The sentiment shared during the imbizo was that the actions of those who participated in the unrest were in flagrant violation of the law.
