Western Cape police are probing an incident whereby a man and a woman were injured during a protest in Observatory last week.
The incident occurred where demonstrations were held for anti=gender based violence as part of organisation Women For Change. In videos gone viral, it can been seen how the driver intentionally drove through a crowd along the Mian road
Police said a case of reckless and negligent driving is
being investigated
Meanwhile, The GOOD Party says law enforcement must track
down the perpetrator and arrest him
‘’Law enforcement must track down the perpetrator and
arrest him. True accountability is non-negotiable. Our legal system must send a
clear message that violence, especially violence carried out on a day meant to
confront GBV, will not be tolerated,’’ said Roscoe palm, GOOD Cape Town
Councillor.
‘’There is no excuse for using a vehicle as a weapon
against unarmed civilians exercising their right to protest. It reveals a
mindset that treats human life as disposable and trivialises the trauma women
face daily. When people feel entitled to harm others without consequence, women
and vulnerable groups pay the highest price. Standing against GBV means
confronting every form of violence that chips away at our humanity,’’ he added.
