Above: In a vicious hatecrime incident, the
SAPS refused to investigate charges against 4 metrorail-guards who on April 24
2013 had racially-abused and assaulted Cape Town student Luke Turner at the
Cape Town railway station. Student Luke Turner was attacked on April 24 2013 in
the afternoon at the Cape Town station by four metrorail-security guards and
racially abused. The young man’s crime: he had accidentially taken out his
earlier train ticket – so they wouldn’t let him show them his latest, valid
train ticket. Instead they grabbed him in a choke-hold, dragged him to a back
roomc ell where they repeatedly beat him, swore at him about his ‘race’ and
threw his textbooks from his bag to the floor. Once he managed to leave, Luke
went to report the incident at the SAPS office at the train station. He was
told to ‘drop the issue as nothing would be done about it’. BoereKrisisAksie picture:
