The African National Congress in the Western Cape says it condemns the irregular arrests on about 40 vulnerable jobless people who were fined R100 each under the City of Cape Town’s Nuisance By-law.
In terms of this By-law a dog may not bark for more than six minutes per hour and also nobody may spit in public.
The ANC says the operation to act against people who allegedly “distract traffic” is merely a smoke screen to target and clean up certain areas of “unwanted” people.
The areas of operations were allegedly identified by Democratic Alliance City of Cape Town councillors as so-called hot spots.
At least 38 people were arrested and fined.
