Deputy health minister Sibongiseni Dhlomo told MPs South African students who were allegedly assaulted by police in Cuba had been partying all night and had been warned by the authorities.

During the sitting, Dhlomo confirmed the students were at a hostel in Santa Clara when the incident took place.

“The students were beaten by the police on campus during a birthday celebration party which was supposed to start at 7pm, but ended up starting at 9pm and went on and on until the early hours of the morning.It is not known yet who called the police. However, the students did indicate police told them to turn down the music as it was too loud for the early hours of the morning,” said Dhlomo.

He said the SA government had been informed that the Cuban government has since established a commission to investigate the incident.“We have been informed university management have notified the provincial leadership of the Villa Clara [Medical University of Villa Clara] that a commission has been established to investigate the incident. We will await the outcomes. We are having a meeting with the attaché in Cuba this week,” he said.

Dhlomo warned that because South African students understood the law to allow them to behave in a certain way while in SA, it did not mean they could behave in a similar way while in other countries.

Truth will always come out, but the students decided to call it racism because thats the norm now blackprivilege

No democracy in that country, communism is the government of the day plus dictatorial tendencies
