Worker killed by employer`s pitbulls in Rustenburg – COSATU - POLITICS | Politicsweb
Federation says owner needs to be held accountable for this tragic death of Moeletsi Sedi
www.politicsweb.co.za
The Federation is horrified by the brutal killing of Moeletsi Sedi, a young worker who was reported to have been brutally killed by pit bulls owned by his employer at his workplace, Eagle Roofs in Rustenburg on the 6th of April. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) has met with Mr. Sedi’s family to offer our support during this tragic period.
We demand urgent action by the South African Police Service (SAPS). The owner of these pit bulls needs to be held accountable for this tragic death and charged with criminal negligence and culpable homicide. The family and dependents of Mr. Sedi must be compensated for this painful loss.
Action needs to be taken with regards to pit bulls. All too often the nation has been traumatised by the horrific mauling and killing of workers and children and the elderly by pit bulls. This breed is genetically bred and predisposed to being highly aggressive. Owners must be held accountable. We need to make the long overdue decision to ban the breeding of this breed, spade existing pit bulls and prohibit future ownership sales and ownership.
