Police dispersed a mob of angry learners from Dumisani Makhaye High School in Chatsworth, Durban, who were assaulting a man accused of stealing copper cables at the school.

None of these must fail...infact they all deserve the next Order of Ikhamanga for bravery.

Good for learners from Dumisani Makhaye High School, they display sense of patriotism. Which is so lacking in the previous generation.

Good

Amen to them may they prosper, I wish all rural areas are given & permitted guns before its too late especially near boarders every house

Well done our kids. Very responsible. Its evident that they are patriotic and SA will be in good hands. ANC and EFF will not fool this ones.... Amandla nga wethu

Hlulani_17 Citizen justice is rising.

It's pretty clear which side SAPS is on

It is only way to stop the destruction, the law is too lax and soft hence these people continue to destroy the critical infrastructure.

Yep, train them kids to enforce law

Police

✊🇿🇦

Clearly showed that cops work with this thieves either way

Vat soe julle bliksems! Let the kids show the politicians how it's done! Lekker man!

Learners know wht ths man is capable of n thy know who is doing what thy r a community if u 1nt 2 know ask the children n community u wont go rong u will get wht u 1nt .Police should hv leave thm unlike 2 protect the criminal

SA Police protecting criminals..... what is new? Well done on these kids!!

Children are now police 🚔

Good kids.

What happened to our usual crime reporter on Twitter? Did Elon Musk shuffle him?

These kids are leadership.

Eff will call them vigilante

Nhlanhla Lux has multiplied OperationDudula 🖤

Why?

Next time show us the faces of our children please

What a great thing to hear, I knew weed story was not defining our children, that are being failed by criminals of anc

This is good man.

Even our children are tired of cable thief's

He was stealing he not been accused he did it I stay in that area

BlasteofThibo I am loving them😎, police should have delayed a bit

This must be rephrase correctly: Leaners from Dumisani Makhanye High School restrain a man found to be stealing copper at their school from fleeing.The man was restrained until he was handed over to the Police for processing.The man sustain injuries during scuffule with Leaners

Patriotic learners who cares about infrastructure that will brighten their future. Viva learners viva ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Well done to the young patriots! 👏👏

Good for them!!

The future of SA is looking good

That's good, well done to those kids, they must do to others.

Exactly what we should be doing as communities than take videos. Even kids see that the Government is failing them

Well done these kids are hero's and leaders❤️ We salute you. They are doing more than our police

Kea91492014 Good Citizenship

LET'S INSTILL PATRIOTISM TO OUR KIDS AS THEY ARE THE ONCE TO FACE TOMORROW 👊 ✊️

Give Bells to those learners. That's how you deal with a thief.

Well done kids....shame saps gonna jus have to make do with their salary this month....no 'copper ' coins bonus !

The children of the soil

Well done kids,

Well done patriots 👏👏👏

Young patriots and will grow up to be proud South African citizens. Even kids are gatvol now.

A presidential special award needs to be given to these wonderful kids.

Atleast they are more patriotic than u

👊🏾

Leave them kids alone because SAPS & Govt of the ANC is good at doing fokol to protect our infrastructure

Ooh how i wish i cud go back in time. Well done learners ✊🏾🇿🇦✊🏾✊🏾

I wish they were left alone to finish the job 😎

Aykhale- let the youth rise !

Weldone students. More marks must be given to you. You have gone beyond your mandate.

Why

These bloody thieves ke masepa wa tseba, they just continue stripping the cable even when they can realize hore communities are tired of their nonsense, I may not condone mob justice maar these ones deserve to be removed permanently from society, jerr man.

Let the Learners OperationDudula anyone who’s a stumbling block to their education

They protected their infrastructure and SAPS did actually show up and manage the situation. Well done Chatsworth young people. You are sending a clear message to vandals and thieves.

Who the Fvck called the cops ?

Well done to the kids! They’re more uselful than that SAPoliceService

Even kids have had enough only the EFFSouthAfrica 54Battalion support these criminals

Promote them to the next grade!

GovernmentZA needs to make it illegal to buy copper and export of it as well

The kids are alright. OperationDudula OnsBaizaNie

Patriotic south Africans should influence all these kids to keep this up. It is for the better for all of south Africans. PATRIOTS.

Mpho61907626 I can guess he's not a South African.

This is one time that I agree with learners. SAPS always seems to be present to protect criminals. Never there to stop them or prosecute them. Maybe a profit share scheme

WE heading further where citizens will take the law into their own hands to save SA from crime of all sorts in SA and the state will continue to just look and do nothing.

The uprising is brewing

Dankie learners....teach them a lesson

Bear in mind, we talking about youth, meaning the cable thief shouldn't sleep soundly.. because whenever they see him it will be the same story😂😂😂😂

Weldone kids.... June 16 was like you.....

Christi63110792 South Africa need this type of youth who are ambitious about their country.✊✊

The people of this country shall rise up and it will be difficult to stop them

Kea91492014 Even school kids are tired of cable theft 🙆🏾‍♂️

The future of SA looks bright then. Well done to the school children.

Our patriotic babies. ❤️🥺

CyrilRamaphosa are these children also vigilante group?

Hallelujah ✊🏾 the re-emergence of 16 June 1976 it couldn't have come at a better time ✊🏾✊🏾

These children will grow up to be good citizens of our country. They already know the importance of protecting their infrastructure. Unfortunately, some politicians consider people who fight crime as vigilantes.

Nurses,police will also be the next to get a cable thief in their premises

_Majolaii Good boys... We celebrate them for protecting this country from criminals.. OperationDudula is alive and PutSouthAfricaFirst is our motto going to 2024 to remove the ANC

Wooow well done young patriots

The young shall lead, I wish this can happen all over the country, next step is to stop drugs, alcoholism, teenage pregnancy and illiteracy 👌, if the youth don’t take care of this country, it will go to the ruins

Wait for EFF to call these kids vigilantes

KhofuMoahloli Even our kids know how to deal with copper thieves wow.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well done my children

Why disperse the mob for trying to do good.

Daarsy! 👍👍. ESKOM survival guarantee. Remember, Gautrain was stopped on its tracks during the first week of operation. 🤔🤔.

Sometimes, I'm not a fan of our police. I wish they could just chill wherever they normally are when these animals commit their crimes and leave the community to hold a proper conversation with these animals.

We are Gatvol

Patriots ✊🏽

Job well done to the Students.

When Students wake up it's about to go down 💪..

Those learners did a great job!
