‘It’s about Jasmin!’
Angry community members and bikers walked out of the memorial service for murdered four-year-old Jasmin Pretorius, claiming the event was being politicised.
The memorial service, which was held at Siloam Ministries in Dalpark this morning, was attended by hundreds of people — mostly from motorcycle clubs — as well as government ministers and high-ranking police officials, including National Police Commissioner General Ria Phiyega.
Jasmin’s father Morné and other family members were also in attendance.
During the welcome address by Gauteng Provincial Community Police Board chair, Andy Mashaile, dozens of people suddenly stood up and stormed out.
One biker shouted: “It’s about Jasmin, we’re not here for politics!
“What did the ANC do for Jasmin?”
The large group gathered outside where they held an impromptu prayer meeting before deciding to meet at a local pub.
Jasmin was reported missing on Saturday, last week, and her body was found under a bed in her father’s home in Suenet Flats later that day.
The incident has shocked the community, with many blaming Jasmin’s family for neglecting her.
Her 23-year-old uncle was arrested and allegedly confessed to the crime.
He is currently being held at the Boksburg Prison and will make his second court appearance on Tuesday, January 7.
That SOB must hang and his sick gay asshole boyfriend low class brakpan rubbish
Anna I agree that what happened is disgusting and this whole scene has made people angry, but please don’t associate everyone that lives in Brakpan to be low class !! this could have happened in your community too……
Anna, where are you staying? Some multi-millionaire’s estate? Don’t think something like this cannot happen in your area too. It is not to say that if one lives in Brakpan, he/she is low class. Who made you the judge between classes? In future, think before you speak.
