Seven people arrested for public violence in Alexandra north of Johannesburg have been sentenced to seven years in jail, Gauteng police said on Thursday.

They were arrested on May 29 following protest actions led by the Dudula movement in Alexandra.

“One of the accused, Simon Motaung was identified as the leader of the movement. All suspects were found guilty and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment which is wholly suspended for five years on condition that they must not be convicted of public violence during the period of suspension,” said police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Sello.

They were sentenced at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court on July 1.

Gauteng provincial commissioner, Lieutenant-General Mawela, welcomed the sentence and applauded Sergeant Maswinginyi of the Provincial Serious and Violent Crime Investigations for his swift investigation that led to a conviction.
