Operation Dudula says law must take its course after EFF opens criminal case against the movement

Operation Dudula says the law must take its course after the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) opened a case against it for allegedly causing the death of a one-year-old child by blocking his Malawian mother from accessing a clinic.

Last week, Grace Banda said members of Operation Dudula prevented her from entering the Alexandra clinic to get help for her sick child.

The Gauteng Health Department is investigating the matter.

Operation Dudula's leader, Zandile Dabula, has previously said none of the organisation's members were stationed atthe clinic on the day of the incident.

"Remember, at that time, I responded because there was no case opened against me, but now that there is a case, let’s just respect that and let the law take its course. Investigations must be done and we will see what the outcomes will be."
