No trust in Cape Town’s
police system
March 10 2014
Last
week, police officers stripped and beat a Nigerian man in the Cape Town CBD.
The video went viral, erupting a new wave of controversy around police
brutality.
How
do Capetonians feel about their protectors? RA’EESA PATHER reports.

Corrupt, inadequate. Not all of them, but…
No, we don’t trust the police. They do nothing, I mean you lay a complaint and
they just look at you, especially when you speak to the African police. They
just look at you like: “Who are you?”. Police brutality is barbaric, and now
it’s happening in Cape Town. I just don’t trust them. If they tried to do
something like that to me, I would fight them.
