There has been unfounded criticism
that the SANDF and the SAP have merely received a rap on the knuckles after the
death of Collins Khosa in Alexandra. The judgment by Fabricius makes it clear
that much more is to follow:
Khosa
and Others v Minister of Defence and Military Veterans and Others (21512/2020)
[2020] ZAGPPHC 147 (15 May 2020).

“The
high court in Pretoria on Friday declared that all people in SA are entitled to
a number of rights which cannot be suspended, even during the Covid-19 state of
disaster. These include the right to life, the right not to be tortured in any
way and the right not to be treated or punished in an inhumane and cruel way”.
