CAPE TOWN - Three people arrested for allegedly vandalising a statue outside Parliament are expected to make their first court appearance on Friday.
The trio was caught earlier this week after they were found in possession of a ladder, grinder and a generator, police said. A small part of the statue of Boer War General Louis Botha had been removed while other parts had been splashed with red paint. The woman and two men face charges of malicious damage to property, resisting arrest and assaulting police officers.
Freedom Front Plus MP Heloïse Denner condemned the incident, saying "The vandalism of the statue of General Louis Botha outside Parliament is unacceptable and demonstrates a culture of disrespect and lawlessness. We hope that an example will be made of these callous vandals and that they will be punished to the full extent of the law."
Allegedly? There's a video of them doing it. Like fact. Allegedly my ass
Really? How did the statue get into court?
What is the Louis Botha statue doing in court? Punctuation goes a long way.
And amazing that the police stand nearby and allow them to exercise their vandalize nature

Release them, they're doing what should have been done in 1994!
Just say it like it is, three EFF misfits.
