CAPE TOWN – Residents of the Laingville community on St Helena’s Bay will march for justice Saturday after the shooting of a child during a protest.
Leo Williams, 9, died after being hit in the head by a stray bullet when police clashed with protesters outside his home last month.
The Investigations Directorate of the Independent Police is investigating a case of death as a result of the police action.
The community will march under the motto #JusticeForLeo.
Laingville community leader Thyrone Williams said they planned to deliver a memorandum of demands to police management and city officials.
“One of the demands of the memorandum is that the community no longer wants the station commander.”
He said this was due to a problem over the possible arrest of community members who participated in the protests over the provision of services last month.
Community security MEC Albert Fritz urged residents to refrain from any form of violence during Saturday’s demonstration.
