SACP conveys message of solidarity to former YCLSA National Spokesperson Comrade Dloze Matooane following hijack and kidnap

Tuesday 18 October 2022:- The South African Communist Party (SACP) conveys its message of solidarity with Dloze Matooane, former national spokesperson for the Young Communist League of South Africa. Matooane was hijacked and kidnapped on the weekend in Sebokeng, Gauteng Province.

“I managed to escape terror and I am home. I sustained some injuries”, said Matooane on Tuesday, 18 October 2022, a day after he survived the traumatic experience. Meanwhile, the car he used and the belongings he had in it were stolen by the hijackers who had kidnapped him.

The SACP strongly condemns the threat to Matooane’s life and violation of his rights.

As part of the wider effort to build safer communities and fight crime, it is essential for the state and communities, respectively, to strengthen the capacity and functioning of law enforcement authorities and organs of people’s power, such as community policing forums and neighbourhood watches.

Equally important, we need more community members who are active in gathering and sharing information, exposing crime or conspiracy to commit crime to the law enforcement authorities to act to prevent, combat and investigate criminality.
