Operation Dudula members have voiced outrage over what they allege is selective law enforcement by the South African Police Service (SAPS), demanding to know why suspected police killer Jabulani Moyo remains at large while their members are being arrested.
At the centre of the dispute is the claim that Moyo, who has been linked to the deaths of police officers, has not yet been apprehended—despite the gravity of the accusations—while Dudula activists continue to face arrests for their involvement in protest actions and anti-crime campaigns.
“Ask the police where Jabulani Moyo is,” a member shouted during a recent gathering, accusing SAPS of being “captured” and failing to act on high-profile criminal cases while targeting community movements. The sentiment echoes growing frustration among activists who believe justice is being applied unevenly.
While SAPS has not publicly commented on the specific allegations involving Moyo, the claims are adding pressure on the police service to address growing concerns about trust, transparency, and perceived political interference in law enforcement.
The debate underscores ongoing tensions between grassroots movements and state institutions, particularly in communities impacted by both crime and under-policing. Calls are mounting for clear communication from SAPS on the status of the Moyo case and reassurance that justice is being pursued fairly and without bias.
