[GRAPHIC WARNING] HRC defends Limpopo church raid - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Over 50 suspected drug addicts who were chained and forced to do hard labour as a form of rehabilitation were rescued from a church called ‘No Smoking’, on Tuesday night.

They were taken to hospitals and rehabilitation centres. Police had to use a grinder to release them from the chains. Human Rights Commission’s Provincial Head, Victor Mavhidula says, “The Department of Health and Social Department is here. They will have to arrange for them to go to rehab, where you will not be chained, where you will be treated by proper doctors, because we can’t leave them like this. This indicates that we as government institutions are failing our people because we can’t allow people to be chained like animals, it can’t be that way.

Mavhidula says, “We don’t have any problem with rehabilitation, that must be made clear because you need help but they can’t be chained, they are not animals, they are human beings, this is a violation of basic rights, your right to human dignity is being violated.” The HRC has raided a church compound at Moletji in Limpopo where alleged drug addicts are chained and forced to do hard labour as a form of rehalibitating them. Some were rescued and taken to hospital and rehabilitation centers while others refused to go.

Human rights wake up! , We have human rights too, NOT to have drug addicts accommodated by Churches in neighbourhoods and putting all lives in danger, cause with drugs comes all the criminal activity.

Church now detains people? The church is not a law unto themselves.

People who are drug addicts turn to crime, if they can't get money for their next fix, shame nowadays the tax payers hard earned money will be used once again to pay for their rehab it's absurd 💰😊😅🤣😠😱😱😱

Shame on HRC! Just running their mouths without any backup plan for those guys. Just what whites wants to see. Those people must be forever enslaved in drugs since they are black. Sometimes we are just as good as without this education.

Well done SAHRCommission now can a similar thing be done in CityofCT alanwinde
