Robin Carlisle, the Minister for Transport and Public Works in the Western Cape will tomorrow evening meet with the guardians and community of an 11-year-old boy that was struck down and killed by an allegedly drunk driver, a little more than a week ago.
The police apparently informed the community that there was no case against the driver, because they had failed to take a blood sample from him.
Members of the media are invited to attend the meeting, which will take place at the deceased boy's home, close to the scene of the crash.
Kindly RSVP your attendance to Steven Otter by sending a text message with your details to 084 233 3811.
Community members that witnessed the crash allege that:
"What kind of justice is this when no case is brought against a killer driver who has slaughtered a child? Can it be true that the police did nothing to help a dying child, or to apprehend and build a case against his killer?" Asked Minister Carlisle.
"I am going to Mfuleni tomorrow evening (Thursday) to hear first-hand from the community what happened that night. After that I will do whatever it takes to obtain justice." He concluded.
For more information on the venue as well as directions contact the Ministry.
Date: Thursday, 27 October 2011
