The South African Communist Party in the Brian Bunting District Cape Metro has condemns the police brutality in Cape Town captured in a video clip that surfaced on 07 March 2013.

The Clip shows police officers together with some security guards ganging against a male in what eventually became an arrest.

SACP Provincial Spokesperson Masonwabe Sokoyi said we are particularly outraged by the apartheid methods used by one police officer during this arrest, particularly in a Province where racism in getting entranced in the public institutions.

Sokoyi said the dastardly act of kicking of the victim particularly in full view of the same public that the Police Service has a constitutional responsibility to protect is concerning. The human rights of the victim were extremely violated, as he was stripped naked and kicked in his genitals in a manner that reminds us of the old regime police brutality.

“We note the current investigation by SAPS in the province, however we call upon the IPID to speedily investigate this matter to the fullest and institute criminal proceedings against anyone who was involved in this inhumane act” He added.
