Alleged SANDF brutality during lockdown leads to the death of an Alex man

A man, who alleges that he was also assaulted and wishes to remain anonymous, says he was later called by the man’s wife in the evening who said her husband was in a bad state and was not responding when she spoke to him.

Police and Police Investigative Directorate have not yet responded to requests for comment from our news desk.There have been reports of alleged brutality by some SANDF and SAPS members who have been deployed to enforce compliance to the national lockdown.

It's wrong to kill someone they had to protect.. But at the same time why do we drink openly in our yard in front of this SANDF, we should also go back to what it means by public drinking.. SOUTH AFRICAN'S lets not make it difficult for our soldiers to protect us.. Please!

It's sad... buh what i know is that they can't just kill a person! It's either he was stubborn and acting wiser than the law enforcement team.

Lebo_Nakene you see this is what I told you about soldiers are not here to protect south Africans but to abuse and kill

Army brutality people should learn from Zim you have seen it all now it's happening here it would've been better to send out amabhareta am sure that section alone would be able to contain and control the situation.soldiers are trained for WAR.this is not a war but a pandemic

There was no beer.. jikiki they were poured with beers.. and why would they call backup if it was a calm situation.. the truth shall set is free.. may he RIP.

People must fight, fight back the very same way they fought SADF during apartheid days. 'If ANC does to you what the apartheid govt did, you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid govt'

Chriseldalewis More than a 1000 people are arrested countrywide for disobeying Lockdown regulations, some with a fine or jail time, and then why did sandf called backup instaed of police to arrest? I thinks our soldiers took things a bit personal here and now its sad

Otikez4 Residents are disrespecting these people and SANDF mustn't allow that,, stay home

Chriseldalewis Disgusting how these officials behave, they won't do such on suburb area dominated by the other nation. Poor people are always victims they have no one to stand for their rights. Voetsek to this nonsense SAPoliceService and SANDFCorpEvents .enough with you

Chriseldalewis It was only a matter of time.

Power is sweet

I think its time that.afriforum takes this government and the minister of police to court!

And alcohol is a concern..

You see how the ANC is resorting to the old apartheid ways. Prohibition and police brutality. Remember what Madiba said we should do if the ANC do what the old government did?

I hope his family sue the Minister

Soliders are trained to FIGHT not control civilians.

bhekicele_com CyrilRamaphosa We are living in fear because of the SANDF and SAPS...

Sad but why were they gathering and drinking in the first place. SANDF is also dealing with rebellious adults that disregard the law. If people take themselves seriously they fisrt need to respect themselves, other peoples lives and jobs; then following the law will be a norm.

SANDF the must go to the war finish and stop killing innocent people worse part why the harassing them insinde in they are house

I am more scared of Cele and his friends brutally kicking and punching people to death than Coronavirus

There reason why alcohol is banned, drinkers are used to police...

It looks like these soldiers are gonna kill us even before the Corona does,...

Alleged?

What I know for sure is that we won't just stand and watch our brothers and sisters being murdered. We will rise and fight back. If it's war they want we'll bring it on. We will die trying.

This whole thing is a ticking time bomb! The government needs oversight during this pandemic! Or else people will keep dropping like flies and no one will be held accountable!

Families must sue for millions, those soldiers must compensate the victim's family from their own pockets. The State must stop compensating aggrieved families due to recklessness of its employees. It is a waste of taxpayer's money. Hold a person personally liable.

That is unethical behaviour ...who ever is responsible for must account

Please can you clarify this one Abramjee CyrilRamaphosa tht we mst be inside the house or we can still sit inside the yard as fmily? Smlar stuation i was arrested for drinking inside my flat n ws ordered to pay bail of R500 and still going to court on Tues . I want clarificatn

Our soldiers are doing this because thy never found them self's in a war.

They don't negotiate like Mr Cele, can they patrol on hunger just for 1week do they can feel wht we feeling, we are hungry

There's a huge difference between respect/fear ' You earn respect you dont demand it as for fear it's a choice , seems like these soldiers are overstepping their boundaries....townships will rise... not a prophet though.

😭😭

Mabena is taking it personal on the civilians now!

Sobza_iHlubi Skop 'n what..?

Imagine if he stayed in his house. I5m Not supporting what SANDF did...

Bheki Cele must be held accountable for all cases reported included the deaths just like Ramaphosa who was held accountable for Marikana killings.

Disgusting

I think it's time re-open the Country now bcz these officers continuing killing our brothers, while we're saying we lockdown the country to minimize the spread of Covid19 that is killing the world wild.

What are the soldiers trained for?

Cele said MPHUSHE meaning PUSH so soldiers they are doing that
