they are instructed by their handlers from above such as the general, mnister and ultimately the president who tunes everything from above as the head of the state. Who takes instruction from the anc which is lagerly in service of capitalist system. as the conditions of the working class detoriates more, it is only logical that the state becomes even muderous in dealing with the working class and this can not be solemely blamed to the police who carried the ultimate act of killing, but the system and all those manages it.
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:09:52 +0200 Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] YCLSA Statement on police brutality From: [email protected] To: [email protected] YCLSA Statement on police brutality 14 April 2011 The Young Communist League of South Africa (Ufasimba) is extremely shocked by the senseless brutality and killing of legitimate service delivery protester in Ficksburg. We are of the view that this is partly informed by a move of “militarisation” which has transformed police into a bunch of private army that is only accountable to the General. Police must work with the community for the protection of community. They must never be feared by community, as YCLSA we call upon both the Police minister comrade Nathi Mthethwa and Police General Comrade Bheki Cele to investigate and end this Police lunacy. Not long ago we witnessed the gruesome killing of comrade Jabulani ‘Mjay’ Kubheka (the District Chairperson of the YCLSA in Ladysmith) by Mr Bhekamaswazi Shabalala (a police officer) who gunned him down with five bullets. We have learned that this police officer from whom the people of South Africa derive expectation of protection and security had to go astray and murder one of the very citizens he is supposed to protect and in the spare of the moment he was unchained on R2000 bail. We view this occurrence as a perpetration of public view on police brutality. We wish to categorically say that the murder of comrade Mjay robed us of a radical and straightforward cadre whose commitment to the upliftment of the lives of the poor and the exploited working class was unquestionable. We do not want to mention the brutality which is faced by unarmed students in Universities every year. The harassment and humiliation suffered by our former National Chairperson, Comrade David Masondo is one of the despicable acts by police. Without exaggerating, we are of the view that if we do not act decisively against police who confused their role with that of action movie stars while on duty, we shall soon be a Police state. Our condolences to the family, friends and the community, he died fighting for. Issued by National office Contact Mafika Mndebele National Spokesperson (073 574 5953) -- You are subscribed.
