AfriForum demands apology from Mchunu

Lobby group AfriForum has called on Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to issue a public apology to the principal of Bergview College in the Eastern Cape.
AfriForum's private prosecution unit, led by advocate Gerrie Nel, is representing the principal who they say was wrongfully mentioned as being a suspect in the rape of a seven-year-old girl from the school.

The group accused Mchunu of making false allegations against the principal, and not correcting information in the public sphere on details of the investigation into the rape.

AfriForum spokesperson Barry Bateman says they'll be assisting the principal to file charges for defamation against Mchunu.

This is the first time I'm agreeing with Afriforum. The minister should apologise and move on.

[dumirose]

Accusation videos are much longer, but this this video is less than 2min, .The media is questionable

There is no way that the minister need to apologise to the principal for being a suspect in this Matatiele case. Since when must the minister apologise to people who just happen to be a possible suspect in a case? Why should he apologise about this person's status infront of the law. Afriforum should get their ducks in a row, they are way out of line....!

[jeanoliver]

all parties who did Afriforum should sue in my opinion

[lufunomulaudzi]

Yes, the Minister must apologise for saying things on media without facts. If indeed the principal is not involved then the Minister and MEC must apologise to the principal. This is not about race but the law.

Mchunu should apologize and everyone makes a mistake

[hgfku-tnhb]

Afriforum is not above the authority of this country.

UmChunu left and right....Zyamkhalela.
Maar in this point, I disagree. No need for apology unfortunately.

[nozinikane]

Afriforum started giving us problems from the day the gnu started. Otherwise ALL along they were quite

[jbmzala]

So what is the interest of Afriforum in all this. Always ratcheting racial tensions in South Africa.

Afriforum is sick... but they have a point.
