Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh, executive director of the Southern African Litigation Centre, said what the police did was unlawful and unnecessary.
“The South African government has granted visa-free entry to holders of Malawian passports for a period of 30 days. Mr Sambisa has been in the country for fewer than 30 days and is, as a result, not in violation of any immigration laws. He should never have been arrested,” said Ramjathan-Keogh.“He was released yesterday [Monday] in the afternoon. What happened is totally unacceptable. We don’t know anything about the offence they speak of.
Gauteng police spokesperson Kay Makhubela was contacted earlier on Tuesday for comment. This story will be updated when police comment is received.
