The cabinet must be held accountable for the unrest in July last year, that claimed the lives of more than 350 people in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. This is according to civil society groups.

A looter daring the police outside the Chris Hani Shopping Complex in Vosloorus.The call comes after the release of an expert panel’s report into the unrest.The panel found that the security services failed to anticipate and prevent the orchestrated violence.

At least 36 people were killed in the area in what is believed to be racially-motivated attacks as looting and destruction to businesses engulfed parts of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Convenor of the Phoenix Ubuntu Forum, Sham Maharaj says, “Both the Minister of Police led by Bheki Cele and the Minister of intelligence services must be called to account for the failure and the mud-slinging that happened publicly. It is a shame that people in government cannot sit together and resolve these matters. The president must call both of them to account. But, we are also very heartened that the recommendations suggests that the security services must be overhauled.

“It’s a process not an event. If you remember very well after the incident and the unrest it was very difficult for the school learners to come to this area. But the churches, civil groups and community leaders work together and it started slowly that they are accepted in this area but the pastors feel that it should not stop there, it should carry on,” says Zondi.
