Sixty-one years after the Sharpeville Massacre, the police are still killing protesters, says the Right2Know Campaign. | GetrudeM

The Right2Know Campaign says the killing of protesters by police continues 61 years after the fatal shooting of 69 people in Sharpeville.

R2K said the nation was reeling from the death of Mthokozisi Ntumba, who was shot and killed by police during protests by Wits University students."Six decades after the Sharpeville massacre, the discourse around police brutality has still not taken a centre stage in South Africa. The outrage is short-lived, we soon find ways of blaming the protesters, we criminalise protesters, innocent citizens continue to die at the hands of police and no one is held accountable.

"As soon as regulations were eased, other gatherings were permitted, except for political gatherings. We strongly believe that this is an attack on our constitutional right to protest.
