The Muhammad references were made last month and recorded on a video clip by one of the police officers who was present when the arrests were carried out. The clip soon went viral on social media. It showed police officers entering what appeared to be a mosque, where shoes had been left outside.
The officers ordered the congregants to lie down before hurling remarks, asking them whether they thought the president was crazy or whetherCele on Friday explained that among the 24 people who police arrested at the mosque that day, there were three men who went by the name Muhammed. “The question that you think your Muhammed is bigger than Ramaphosa comes from those names, not from Muhammad the prophet. Those three Muhammeds were arrested,” Cele said.
The references to Muhammad caused a huge uproar with the Council of Muslim Theologians, the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa, saying although the congregants were wrong to gather, they were appalled by the conduct of the police officers, who they said should be investigated by the SA Human Rights Commission.
Cele himself issued an apology for the incident, saying he was not sorry for the arrests but was sorry for the blasphemous remarks made and how the arrests were carried out.
Fontoshi Was referring to which Mohammed? 🤔
Nice try
That cop should be promoted for quick thinking.
The important point to remember is that some people are not above the law. What the police have to remember is that they should just carry out their duties, arrest those who break the law regardless of affiliation, and never fall into any traps.
