DURBAN - POLICE have confirmed that a case has been opened under the Disaster Management Act on the illegal gathering outside Hertzog Plein in Bloemfontein, ahead of the appearance of ANC Secretary General, Ace Magashule.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, said earlier during the day people were warned and made aware that under the Disaster Management Act, they are gathering illegally by way of failure to wear masks in public as well as not keeping social distance. "After situational analysis and calculating the risks associated with dispersing crowds, a decision was taken as guided by the law to open a case under Disaster Management Act against those who organised this illegal gathering. The Provincial Commissioner already instructed the District Commissioner for Mangaung Metro to put a team together to gather all information and make sure that the case is tabled before the court as soon as possible," Makhele said.

The matter was a postponed to 11 August 2021 after the teams indicated that was the only available date. The National Prosecuting Authority may add charges to Magashule’s docket, according to spokesperson Sipho Ngwema.
Looks like you have to be stuip to become a police person, all they had to do was block the roads into bloem, problem solved
This MYANC is INCOMPETENT and MUST BE REMOVED, because they are KILLING SOUTH AFRICA with their CORRUPTION of SELF ENRICHMENT for the SELECT CONNECTED FEW! ...and you can bet your bottom dollar that those crime stats have been tweaked to not reflect the REAL OUT OF CONTROL STATS
People gathered in Cape Town beaches unauthorized, what did the police do? Nothing. Why then must others worry about the police? The disrespect of the police is self-inflicted. They are now agents of injustice.
Are we back to implementation of law in SA for specific racial colour? Beach spectators vs ANC Revolutionary movement! Media
I mean it seems Saps takes us for fools, what's there to investigate? Ordinarily you'd have excepted the police to disperse those thugs as they do to others remember what they did to grannies, Sassa, Cape Town, they allow thugs supporting their masters to gather and say this
So who's gonna be hold accountable for that shit?
Investigate who, what and where, they should've sent the SAPS team the day before this gathering took place, it wasn't secret the ANC was talking publicly they were heading to court in support of AceMagashule
Investigate what
Screw an investigation!...why were there no water cannons or arrests.

Understandable, BhekiCele only likes to go after the SOFT TARGETS, makes his STATS look 'good', even though REAL CRIME like MURDER, ARMED ROBBERY, ARMED HIJACKING, ARMED HOME INVASION, RAPE, etc is OUT OF CONTROL in South Africa
🙆♀️🙆♀️🤷♂️🤷♂️
