MAY
4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Considering the human rights violations that have resulted from the lockdown during the month of May
ZPP recommends the following:
• The State should desist from violating the rights of citizens, and should always respect the arrest
and detention procedures as set out in the law.
• Government should effect security sector reforms as recommended by the Motlanthe Commmission
• Investigations should be carried out on all cases of human rights abuses and an end to impunity.
• Government should provide social protection for all vulnerable citizens during the lock down and all
food and other forms of aid are distributed impartially.
