The City of Cape Town has referred four law enforcement officials for independently chaired disciplinary proceedings over the incident in which a naked Bulelani Qolani was filmed being dragged from his shack during an eviction operation.

Cape Town - In a sequel to the much publicised incident in which a member for the public claimed to have been naked and having a bath when City of Cape Town law enforcement officials removed him from his illegal structure last month, the city has referred four law enforcement officials for disciplinary proceedings to be independently chaired and initiated.

This was in line with the recommendation of an independent investigation, which considered what steps the city should take regarding the conduct of officers involved in the altercation. Qolani claimed to have then immediately re-entered the structure in order to allegedly bath. Video filmed by law enforcement officials during the operation further depicted Qolani emerging from a structure naked and unprompted. This happened prior to the altercation with officials, which was the subject of an independent disciplinary process, the city said.
