KwaSizabantu: SAHRC investigates 'human rights violations conducted in name of religion'

22 September 2020

The SAHRC says its provincial office will investigate the serious allegations of human rights abuse levelled against KwaSizabantu.
It viewed the allegations in a serious light, said SAHRC CEO advocate Tseliso Thipanyane.
The CRL Rights Commission has asked those directly affected to share their stories to assist its official probe.

The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) will investigate the serious allegations of abuse levelled against KwaSizabantu in KwaZulu-Natal, SAHRC CEO advocate Tseliso Thipanyane has confirmed.

"What is [of] concern for the commission are the human rights violations conducted in the name of religion," Thipanyane said on Tuesday.
"The SAHRC respects the right to freedom of religion, opinion and belief, however this right cannot be exercised in blatant contravention of human rights as has been alleged in this matter."
