Justice for Jayden-Lee Meek: ActionSA Welcomes Arrest of Suspect
Press Statement by Dereleen James MP
ActionSA Member of Parliament
ActionSA welcomes the arrest of a suspect in the heartbreaking murder of 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek. While no arrest can undo the pain of his loss, it marks a vital step toward justice for his family and community.
For too long, the people of Florida have suffered the consequences of an under-resourced police station and an uncoordinated response to violent crime. ActionSA has consistently raised this issue in Parliament, demanding accountability for the policing failures that have allowed crimes like this to persist.
We will continue to push for the summoning of relevant officials to appear before the Portfolio Committee on Police to account for these systemic failings and for the committee to visit the community to hear their concerns directly. ActionSA will not rest until justice is done.
We call on all members of the public and SAPS to work together to ensure the successful prosecution of this case. Justice for Jayden-Lee is justice for every child in South Africa who deserves to live free from violence and fear. There can be no more excuses.
