1. Mr Orifile Oratile Sedika
It was alleged that the suspect published social media posts calling for attacks on malls including the Waterfront Mall in Bloemfontein. The matter was struck from the roll due to the delays in finalising the investigations. It is reported that the investigation is now complete, and the matter is with the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions: Free Sate Division for a decision once again.
2. There is no reported evidence that the negligence of the South African Police Service in any form and/ or part caused the delay in the investigation.
3. Zamaswazi Zinhile Majozi
It was alleged that the suspect used her Twitter account to call for looting and public unrest. The Director of Public Prosecutions: Gauteng Local Division withdrew the matter and advised that although the suspect was opinionated, she had refrained from endorsing her followers’ violent actions. There was insufficient evidence to give the court an insight into the suspects state of mind.
4. There was no reported evidence that evidence was destroyed, lost and / or tampered with and / or that the chain of command was broken which contributed to the decision not to prosecute in the Majozi matter.
5. There is no reported evidence that the decision not to prosecute was due to the negligence and /or delay of the South African Police Service in any form.
