Durban policemen accused of abusing street kids

February 23, 2008, 10:00
A Durban organisation helping street children has called for harsh action against members of the Ethekwini Metro police who allegedly sexually assaulted children living in Albert Park.

This comes after claims that some of the children had been assaulted by undercover policemen. KwaZulu-Natal Street Kids Association spokesperson Sipho Nyaka has called for a suspension and dismissal of the officers involved in the abuse.

Metro police spokesperson Thomas Tyala has encouraged the public to report any police abuse incidents.
