The Tshwane metro police had declined the application for the march in awareness of farm murders on two days before.

“When we got there, the police riot squad was already waiting for us. They were, however, peaceful and very respectful. No one was arrested on the day or since then that I know of.”

Behr said he was, however, contacted by a police inspector to make a statement regarding a case which was opened, but it is not clear what the nature of the case is.“Should this march go ahead, it will be regarded as illegal,” TMPD spokesperson Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said at the time.Mahamba has yet to comment on the march going ahead without permission.

Farm murders were in the spotlight this week as a group handed over a memorandum to parliament in Cape Town in which they demanded answers from the government following a spike in farm murders and attacks across the country under the current lockdown. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga’s live briefing to parliament on 22 July was bombarded with more than 2,000 comments to stop farm murders.“We can proudly say tonight that we have the ‘parliament disrupt’. That poor MP could no longer read from her paper afterwards. And, guess what, no one threw us out of parliament.”For more news your way, download The Citizen’s app for
