She says Mashinini do not condemn the gathering outside the Senekal Magistrate's Court, but the boisterous behaviour by a group of people do not carry his approval. Mashinini regards the Horner murder as a atrocious killing but the behaviour of the group of people will not be tolerate. She says Mashinini is clear about the fact that no person has the absolute right to take the law out of the hands. The department will therefor not restrain on the disappointing behavior by this group of farmers. Vandalism of court properties and burning of a police vehicle by this group is very questionable, says Mophete.
She says Mashinini wishes to remind all South Africans that the right to peaceful protest is part of any democratic society and is enshrined in the Constitution, however the right to protest is not absolute and comes with responsibility.
According to Mphethe the fact that vandalism of the court properties as well as the burning of a police vehicle boils down to this group actually started to attack government itself so. This matter is in die hands of the police currently. Investigations are being made and it is left to police to provide a report to the department in this regard.)
