Operation Dudula’s Dabula lays charges against Gauteng EFF

The President of Operation Dudula, Zandile Dabula, has opened a case against the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Gauteng.

This after the EFF, last week, said it had opened a case against the movement and its leader following the death of a one-year-old child at the Alexandra Community Health Care Centre, in July.

According to the EFF, the mother of the child, a Malawian national, was denied access to the clinic as she could not produce a South African ID. Subsequent to that, the child allegedly died.

Dabula has accused the party of lying to the public about the incident as well as opening a case against her and the movement.

“I’ve opened a case of intimidation, assault by threats and criminal defamation as per the Cybercrime Act because they went out there and labelled me as a murderer and lied to the community that they had opened a case against myself and Operation Dudula when they knew that’s not true,” says Dabula.

She says when they got to the station, it was confirmed that the EFF was turned away because they wouldn’t have been the right people to open a case against her for murder.

“There was no proof,” she adds.
