Bulelani Qolani: “I was in my room washing. Then they threw me outside.”

Cape Town - “I was in my room washing. I asked them for one minute. Then they threw me outside.” This is how Bulelani Qolani described how on Wednesday he was dragged naked from his home by City of Cape Town law enforcement officers sent to demolish shacks at a site called eThembeni, near Empolweni, in Khayelitsha.

Bosman went on to say, “We are saddened by the conduct depicted on the video footage, and we do not condone any forceful and dehumanising conduct by our staff members.” “I asked them: ‘Guys, where is your court order?’. They didn’t have a court order. I told them, ‘Bring up the court order, bring up the permit’. I was in my room, washing. I asked them to wait for two minutes outside the house. The one guy would not listen to me. He came in and told me to get out. I asked them for one minute. Then they threw me outside.Bulelani Qholani, the man who was seen in a video being dragged naked from his shack by City of Cape Town law enforcement officers on Wednesday.

Qolani said he had been to Booi’s house last night with other protesters but the Mayco member had not been at home. The protesters had also been to see Mayco Member for Safety and Security JP Smith but he was not at home either.
