SANDF opposes Collins Khosa court bid, judge says mistrust between govt, community

Judge Hans Fabricius, presiding over the court case related to the death of Collins Khosa, said it could be beneficial to grant an order instructing law enforcement to act within the confines of the Constitution during the lockdown.Legal representation for the South African National Defence Force and the minister of defence appeared in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday in a bid to oppose the urgent application brought by Khosa’s family.

“No doubt, it would receive the necessary publicity on every possible channel and it could go some way to re-establish the trust that seems to be lacking between the community and the government, and vice versa,” Fabricius said. Lawyers on behalf of the Khosa family are seeking the suspension of the SANDF members allegedly involved in Khosa’s death, for all law enforcement to adhere to the prohibition of torture and inhumane treatment, and for any law enforcement official guilty of such to receive disciplinary sanction.

Obviously the government does not consult scientific data - obesity is a huge comorbidity factor in Covid19 yet the sale of sugared drinks like coke , chips chocolates etc are not banned ?!!! So they can’t say that they are banning cigarette sales due to health reasons I think I've seen these for the past two weeks
