The MK Party Tshwane Women’s League marched to the Department of Justice headquarters in Tshwane to seek justice for Cwecwe.
According to MK Party Women’s League Interim Co-ordinator Promise E. Nkosi, Cwecwe’s case was not handled properly; that there are many outstanding issues which include some people refusing to do DNA tests, including the principal of the school where 7-year-old Cwecwe is a learner.
“We want everybody including the principal of Cwece’s school to take DNA tests and if he doesn’t take DNA tests that means he is sending a wrong message to the citizens of South Africa,” she said.
“The Minister of Police has told lies to the nation by saying the principal has undergone DNA tests and this shows that the government and the police just don’t care about Cwecwe’s matter,” MKPWL president and member of parliament Shirley Brown said.
“The Minister of Women, Youth and People with Disabilities is so quiet about this matter though this matter is relevant to her department, and the ANC Women’s League is also quiet about this matter,” said an enraged Brown.
“When has anyone seen the ANC Women’s League marching regarding Cwece’s case?” she asked.
“The Minister of Women, Youth and People With Disabilities is supposed to be on the streets making noise about this matter but like all ANC members they are so quiet about this matter and we don’t know know what is happening with the government of the ANC because it is failing the people of this country, they don’t care about the poor masses, they don’t care about our children and our mothers and their being in government is all about their own pockets, and even if you tell them about the poor masses of this country they don’t care,” she said.
“Let the police do their work and find out exactly who the perpetrator is in the matter of Cwece,” she fumed.
The march by MK Party Women’s League was peaceful and it started at the Marabastad Old Depot and ended at the Department of Justice.
The memorandum was officially received by Advocate Shireen Said, Deputy Director-General for Constitutional Development, on behalf of the Director-General, Advocate Doc Mashabane, who was unable to attend in person.
Advocate Said conveyed the Director-General’s appreciation for the League’s engagement and assured protestors that the contents of the memorandum would be submitted to the Director-General, the Deputy Minister, and the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development for their urgent attention.
