Johannesburg – The long arm of the law has caught up with the three men caught on camera assaulting black children for swimming in a “whites-only pool” on Christmas Day at the Maselspoort Resort complex in the Free State.
Commenting on the development on Wednesday, Free State MEC Destea Makalo Mohale said he “welcomes the arrest of perpetrators who committed the horrible and racist attack at Maselspoort Resort on 25 December 2022”.

The MEC applauded the SA Police Service for acting swiftly on the matter.
However, two of the suspects were released on warning.
Mohale said he was, “delighted that one perpetrator who is facing an attempted murder charge, will spend a night in jail before appearing in court on Thursday, 29 December 2022”.
The MEC added: “We call upon the court to mete out a harsh sentence to these men in order to deter potential perpetrators from committing similar offences”.
