\u201cAlthough AfriForum welcomes the TMPD\u2019s comprehensive reply to our letter, we cannot ignore the fact that they are neglecting to act against these officers. The Private Prosecution Unit finds it concerning that there is an increasing trend for the government to launch quick one-sided investigations into the misconduct of officials.

Members of the public who have fallen victim to incidents of abuse of power by TMPD members are encouraged to report it on AfriForum\u2019s complaints platform. These incidents will also be sent directly to Lt Genl Nkomo. This platform is aimed specifically at misconduct by members of the TMPD, but people in other areas of the country with similar complaints about metro police members can also share their information via this platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
