While protesting against the murder of George Floyd in the US, civil society organisation #NotInMyName has also looked closer to home, calling for the killers of Collins Khosa to be brought to book and jailed.
Police looked on as the group held aloft "black lives matters" posters, demonstrating over the death of Floyd and Khosa, allegedly killed by South African Defence Force (SANDF) members in Alexandra, Johannesburg in March this year.
#NotInMyName chairperson Siya Jentile said the protest was about venting frustrations and making voices heard about racism and the continued killings committed by law enforcement across the world.
Jentile further said that they would be watching the SANDF and the Minister of Defence very closely, waiting for those who are responsible for the death of Khosa to be charged with murder.
#NotInMyName secretary general Themba Masango said their message was simple: "We are saying no to racism internationally, we are here in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the US who are saying black lives matter.
