OPINION: It does not reflect well on your country if members of your police force forcibly pull babies out of the hands of their mothers, says rylandfisher

The pride for many has been related to the Springboks reaching the final of the Rugby World Cup. For many others, this is also the source of the shame. More on this later.

The shame has also been because of the vicious response by police to migrants in Cape Town. It does not reflect well on your country if members of your police force forcibly pull babies out of the hands of their mothers and generally mishandle foreigners from other African countries, or anyone for that matter.

It shows there is a lack of sensitivity in police training. I am not arguing for what some people might consider a “soft” approach by police - police need to be tough, especially in a crime-ridden country such as ours, but they also need an ability to apply discretion. The people from neighbouring countries, who are seeking a better life in South Africa, on the whole are not our enemies, even though some of them might engage in crime.
