Taxi owners, business people and residents who experienced the chaos in Pretoria say the police’s poor behavior and careless attitude were worse than the criminal elements. A taxi driver told the media that South Africa will never get out of the mess as long as they remain satisfied with the poor police service, especially because they are often worse than the criminals.
Another person pointed out that over the past six years, he has witnessed police mistreating innocent people while the guilty elements are ignored.
Police have repeatedly dispersed the crowd with rubber bullets over the past few days, often also injuring people who have no connection to the riotous chaos in the streets of Pretoria.
