The Constitutional Court of South Africa has been asked to issue "an order that would set up a system for receiving and investigating complaints of state brutality for the duration of the state of disaster — including a special investigation, led by a retired judge." Details
here from the
Mail & Guardian. The family of a person killed by defense and police personnel in the course of the country's lockdown "want the highest court to declare that the state of national disaster does not detract from the right to life, dignity and to be free from state violence. They have asked the court to order that a code of conduct be developed for the SANDF for the duration of the state of disaster."
