File picture: Timothy Bernard/African News Agency (ANA) Thandi Modise acquittal: ’Victory against white supremacists who don’t want black people to venture into farming’ By IOL Reporter Share Cape Town – National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise’s acquittal on animal neglect and cruelty charges has been hailed as a ’’victory against white supremacists who don’t want black people to venture into farming’’. This was stated on Friday by the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) in North West. The Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Court on Friday found Modise not guilty after her lawyer, advocate Dali Mpofu, applied for her to be discharged on all six charges. The magistrate found there was not sufficient evidence to prosecute Modise and that she could not held responsible.

Over the course of the last year, with the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic as justification, the policy decisions and actions of this government have shown us just how brittle freedom is, and how vital it is for citizens to hold elected officials to account.
