ActionSA is extremely disappointed that the Primrose Police Station in Germiston, Ekurhuleni, deliberately refused to open a case for Patrica Khoza after her son was assaulted by the undocumented Nigerian National whom she previously helped get arrested in January this year. It was only after intervention by ActionSA that police agreed to open for Khoza.
It is deeply concerning that Khoza attempted to open the case for her son, who has learning disabilities, today, but was deliberately refused after being told that they were busy with an undocumented immigration operation or that officers were busy with other matters.
While ActionSA applauds and welcomes every attempt to address undocumented immigration, we find it deeply concerning that an undocumented immigration matter at their police station was deliberately ignored. Police are required to open every case reported to them, regardless of the individual or if other cases are pending, but instead they ignored Khoza’s pleas and assisted other South Africans who arrived after her.
As a councillor in the City of Ekurhuleni and an attorney, I have long worked with Khoza to help ensure that the undocumented national sees his day in court and that the matter not be bungled by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) or police.
The undocumented Nigerian national is facing serious charges of building hijacking in Ekurhuleni and has been in South Africa illegally the past 10 years. Despite the serious charges he is facing and multiple attempts to intimidate Khoza, the case against him has been postponed in court 12 times for frivolous reasons.
ActionSA has long worked to ensure that he appears in court, having written to the Police, NPA and Minister of Home Affairs to ask that the matter be expedited. Despite our repeated attempts, our calls have fallen on deaf ears.
Furthermore, it has become apparent how dysfunctional the Primrose Police Station is and how it fails to protect the residents living in the community. The conduct found at the Primrose Police Station is a prime example of the breakdown of the rule of law found at police stations around the country.
ActionSA believes in the rule of law and we will continue to support Khoza to ensure that justice prevails. We will continue to work tirelessly towards ensuring that law and order are restored in our country and that victims of crime get the justice they deserve.
