Military ombud’s office handling complaints against SANDF

After three people were killed within the first five days of the lockdown, the office of the military ombud is assuring South Africans the office will remain open to assist those aggrieved by the actions of soldiers in the execution of their duties.

He said that just five days into the lockdown, by 31 March, police had reportedly killed three people, the same number as Covid-19 at that time. One resident, Thomas Baphela, said it was hard to stay cooped up in a shack the whole day without food or money. “This could take the form of lockdown boycotts and isolated attacks on government workers, to widescale unrest and a rejection of the state,” said Faull.

So after 90 days the assults wont be applicable to be pursued until justice is served? SANDF
