South African National Defence force (SANDF) has been criticized for the methods they have used in enforcing lockdown. Footage has emerged of SAPS and SANDF members seemingly punishing residents for breaking the lockdown laws. Some of the punishment included pushups and squats. Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said in a statement that the department had noted allegations of abuse by members of the defence force.
She said a message was sent by President Cyril Ramaphosa – the commander-in-chief of the SANDF – warning the soldiers that they should not use excessive force.
