The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union
has called for peaceful protest in Malamulele.
The residents want to be separated from the
Thulamela municipality and are demanding their own municipality.
Pupils have also been barred from attending
school in the past week.
Popcru’s Hangwani Mashao said residents
need to be patient while government does its work regarding this matter.
Mashao added that the Constitution of the country
provides for the right to demonstration and protests.
He emphasised that it also protects the
rights of those that might be affected by the very same demonstrations and
protests. Therefore we calling for responsible demonstration because over the
past few days we have had instances where law enforcement officers have been injured
and instances where ambulances that were picking up the patients were attacked.
“We believe that in itself does not show responsibility
on the part of those that organised the protests,” Mashao said.
