 STATEMENT ON THE WADDINGTON REPORT OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The ANC has stated that the responsibility for the Boipatong massacre must, in the final analysis, be attributed to the South African Police who failed to anticipate, intervene during, or prevent the mass murders, or to summarily arrest the perpetrators at or near the scene of the massacre.
We place on record that the manifest incompetence and failures of the police, as confirmed by the Report, is evidence, at best, of the neglect and indifference of the police to the plight of township residents and/or a conscious refusal to address the serious nature and consequence of the violence in our townships.
Dr Waddington's Report does not purport to deal with this latter question, and as the question of what the police actually did when they were in Boipatong during the massacre will be dealt with by the Goldstone Commission, we do not think it is appropriate to deal with it while responding to the Waddington Report.
