Police Minister Bheki Cele has apologised to the Muslim community after a South African Police Service member insulted the Islamic Prophet Muhammad on Friday in Mpumalanga.
The group was arrested for contravening the Covid-19 Disaster Management Lockdown Regulations in relation to the prohibition of gatherings.“The comment made about Prophet Mohammed, which can be heard at the end of the video, is rather unfortunate and it is unacceptable that someone could make such an utterance. Therefore, the SAPS management has directed that this matter too be investigated and the person/s who made the comment about the Prophet be identified and brought to book.
Cele further reiterated government’s call to religious leaders to ensure a collective effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus. “It is within this context that Minister Cele is reminding all citizens of the country to always be conscious of the primary purpose of the Covid-19 Disaster Management Lockdown Regulations, which is to protect South Africans from the corona virus.

Our Government is so predictable, we knew very well they were going to apologize to the Muslim community because they are powerful nation. They just sneezed and the government and the courts caught some cold. Sorry my weak Zion church no apology will come your way 🙈

He should also apologize to the Zion church members that were arrested in the eastern Cape during passover weekend.

'You think your president is crazy?': Muslims arrested for praying under lockdownMinister Bheki Cele warned on Sunday that police had 'no choice but to enforce the law' if the lockdown regulations were flouted for religious gatherings. U guys are stupid, why can’t u say they where arrested for breaking the lockdown law I think that was a trick question. I wish if journalists and newspapers were promoters of the stay at home and awareness about the pandemic message . I understand u want to make money with more negativity than good deeds

'You think your president is crazy?': Muslims arrested for praying under lockdownThe Council of Muslim Theologians — the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa — said even though the congregants were wrong to gather, they were appalled by the conduct of the police whom they said should be investigated by the SA Human Rights Commission. They knowingly broke the law... similar action was taken to Christians as well... no call was made for the HRC to investigate... waste of resources... finish n klaar... Badakiwe We need to rid the country of all gods they are completely useless and meaningless

Lockdown: Religious leaders urged to discourage gatherings after Muslim worshippers arrestedUPDATE: SAPS National spokesman Vish Naidoo has confirmed that the arrest of Muslim worshippers in a video that has gone viral on social media occurred in Masibekela in the Mbuzini policing jurisdiction of Mpumalanga. Definitely, what the police officers had done wasn't pleasant, an apology from bhekicele_com, would definitely be accepted Police did good job but SA, our police need to cut tone a bit. Arrests can still happen without SAPS acting like committed straat maids even when there’s no resistance. We need dignified police force, not people who act like thugs like they did in the past or in Marikana Abramjee Yes I am glad that they are arrested by not listening to the president but some ppl are soo against Islam that they don't respect the religion
