DA welcomes
IPID investigation into Barberton
The DA welcomes the announcement by the Independent Police
Investigative Directorate (IPID) that it would investigate allegations of
police using live ammunition against protestors in Barberton
According to reports, IPID will investigate charges of discharging
a firearm in public, and it escalated to attempted murder following the
incident last Wednesday, where one protester seriously wounded and hospitalised
last Wednesday.
While we welcome the fact that that investigators are searching
for cartridges and projectiles on the scene, we are concerned over the time
lapse since the incident, and the very real possibility of the scene compromised.
To this end, the DA calls on every member of the public who may
have information that could assist with this investigation, to come forward, so
that the perpetrators brought to book.
