Johannesburg - Seventeen worshipers were arrested in Pretoria West on Friday when police found them congregating and praying, contravening the Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo said the men were arrested by members of the Tactical Response Team , who had been conducting patrols in the area when they were alerted to the group which was contravening regulations.
He said the 17 suspects would face charges of contravening the Disaster Management Act regulations as they relate to the Covid-19 lockdown.
Abramjee This one must be dealt with, she's a terrorist in making
Abramjee Lekker! Moer hulle!
Your headline makes no sense . Am sure you can see that too 😩
Abramjee Well done Saps
This is why Iran is such a mess. People going to mosque. Infections at religious gatherings in general are a massive issue
All religions had a major role in the spread of COVID-19, at least in the early stages. They all suffer from a delusion of invincibility.
stop suger coating this 17 MUSLIMS CAUGHT BREAKING LOCKDOWN REGULATION PERIOD..
What if they were praying for corona virus to end 🤔
Abramjee A pastor got arrested for contravening the lockdown rules you didn't hear us complain because what he did was wrong, but because it's Muslims YusufAbramjeeMustFall
Abramjee
Abramjee Abramjeemustfall
The should have locked them up... What's disturbing here is that just last week we saw a police praying then telling the church goers go home. The level of respect by police is different between religions
Abramjee These are the worse criminals disobeying the laws of this country.... Muslims think they are special
phat63908830 p west it might be laudium someone defending this stay there
Abramjee Great job SAPS.
No matter what religion you are, it teaches that God puts the leaders in power and we must obey the laws of the God chosen leaders,
Abramjee 'As Muslims we need to respect all of South Africa’s people and stop behaving like entitled persons. How are others supposed to respect us and our religion and the prophets when we show such disrespect to them.' 🇿🇦
Abramjee Are they legally here SAPoliceService
Abramjee Well done SAPS!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Just imagine, had we observed LockdownSA 100% all affected people would be on their road to recovery and our economy would be ready to open.
Abramjee
Abramjee Shame that people break down lockdown rules in the name of worship. We are all worshipping in our homes. Life is different now and we must respect our leadership the same way we want our Highest power to hear our prayers and worship. Period
Abramjee Who they think they are to brake law? Is it because they Muslims and think they are above the kaw
There are 2 aspects of this that should concern everyone- (1) SAPoliceService general behavior we see repeatedly - this brutish behavior is not necessary and (2) SAPoliceService are not acting on behalf of the PresidencyZA - they are there 2 uphold the LAW-they are not the LAW
Abramjee Great stuff.... Police treating us all fair now..... Bopha!!!!
Abramjee Good. They don't listen.
Intifada. Straight.
Abramjee The grand mosque and the black box is in lockdown in Saudi and if these convert lineage Muslims tried this stunt there, they’ll be openly flogged. This temporary law should be enforced for the safety of the country.
Abramjee They are not special. They must adhere. Simple
Abramjee Well done to the police. They should keep them in jail for long
Abramjee What happened yesterday was a test for what is still to come... Hence more soldiers deployed. Makes me wonder who the the real virus is🤔 What is still to come tomorrow for more law enforcement out in the street....ppl can read the weather yet fail to read the world
Abramjee Am I the only one who saw a firearm(rifle) being pointed directly at this man's head?
Abramjee Good😎
Abramjee Good, church is on lockdown, whether Christianity or Islam
Abramjee If only these same cops perused criminals with the same zeal and enthusiasm that they did people worshipping,we wouldn’t have among the highest crime rates in the world . SAP never did a good job apprending true criminals, I wonder why Is it more lucrative NOT too🤔
Abramjee This lockdown business really needs to stop now. Simple solution is to make facemasks compulsory & allow ppl to go about their businesses. Before we all lose lives & limbs to thugs in uniform called police/SANDF.
Abramjee Mpumalanga not Pretoria.
Abramjee not pretoria west. chak laudium today 👇👇
Abramjee It is an unfortunate incident. Problem may not be the police, nor the muslim worshippers. It may be the interpretation of the lockdown rules, being in direct conflict with perceived normal duty. Better communication may be needed.
Abramjee Notwithstanding, human's who make laws many time fall short of making laws that strike perfect balance to sustain life, and for that I will raise my voice, to achieve the perfect balancing poing in law thar wont destroy lives. A humanitarian crisis is not far of in SA. Act asap
Abramjee Leaving serious criminals and scammers to operate freely
Because they broke the law
People don't listen
In my books,it is unaceptable!!-The Goverment of 🇿🇦 rates Health,and safty before God!!
TheMercurySA DISTURBING AND DISGRACEFUL. SELFISH, IRRESPONSIBLE, INHUMANE (THIS COMMENT ISNT ABOUT THE RELIGION BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES AT RISK BY NOT OBEYING SA LOCK DOWN RULES AND LAW.) I HOPE THEY GET CHARGED.
Check the validity of thier passports and IDs.
Good
