Johannesburg – The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) has criticized EFF leader Julius Malema for his threats to visit police officers at their homes to fight them for the ill-treatment of members of his party and women during the protests.
On Sunday, Malema complained that the police had colluded with the white community and abused members of the EFF in their recent anti-racism protests in Senekal in the Free State and in Brackenfell in Cape Town.
Malema said the party would retaliate by visiting individual police officers in their homes.
“If the South African police want a fight, they must declare it. We will treat them the same way we treated them in the 80s.
“We will not only fight them in the pickets. We will go to their homes and fight them in their own homes with their own families, ”Malema said.
Popcru spokesman Richard Mamabolo condemned Malema’s comments as dangerous and irresponsible.
“As he has done before, verbally attacking the character of our men and women in blue in September for doing their duties, to the point where he even labeled their boots stinky, this time he has taken his insults to another level. , where it is promoting direct violence against SAPS members and their families, ”said Mamabolo.
He accused Malema of indirectly calling for anarchy.
“For a person like Mr. Malema, who is also a public representative, to stoop so low and put the lives and families of law enforcement officers at such potential risk is very irresponsible.
“This is also happening at a time when we have been pleading with the population to help in the fight against police killings, which are on the rise,” Mamabolo said.
